bikeslut 1 Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks guys for keeping me in the loop...I was out of town, and when I got the "hopeful" text, I was glued to the blackberry from then on...this is SO F-in cool! Paul; I understand some stuff is missing...that sucks, but better than the alternative I guess Good sleuthing on your part- good connections and a bunch of cops that got the job done I'm sure the investigation continues, and we shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I'm going to anyway- I've never purchased or sold without a pink...you have your bike, and YOU have the pink Whether or not he "stole" it, he was up to something fishy at best. I will say- vigilante justice is the first thing that came to my mind....I would've grabbed my biggest-ugliest friends (yes-that includes you) and gone over there...that was my first response but you obviously did the right thing with the right people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piratemonkey 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Paul, if it matters at all, your suffering was useful. I'm going to put a small distinguishing mark on all my bike parts so if it gets stolen and someone tries to part it out, I'll have a fighting chance of tracking down the thief. Congrats to you and Ken for getting the bike back without the use of guns, shurikens, RPGs, etc. And yes, I checked to see if Wayne had any "new" KTM parts on his bike, but he didn't.

Kris 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Congratulations on getting your bike back. I had a brand new 1975 Yamaha DT400 stolen and never saw it again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenosan 2 Posted January 17, 2011 Glad to see you got your bike back Paul and that you had a friend like Ken to help out on the LEO end of the problem. Never had a bike stolen, but my stuff is not worth stealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 17, 2011 The team assembled, on their day off, on a holiday weekend (MLK on Monday) and worked this quickly. 8 guys just doin' the right thing and it couldn't have turned out any better. That's REALLY impressive/considerate - thanks to you and your buds for helping out Paul - heard the news while I was out at the KOA and it made my weekend - Thanks Ken and congrats Paul.....

KIP 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Not the smartest thieves - unless they fenced it to the CL guy. I parted my SXC and still have the frame and title. Kinda scared to sell it cause some dirtbag could use it on a hot bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
