    Hey guys, about a month ago my bike was stolen and I'm very happy to say that the police have recovered it!

    Apparently the police were conducting a bust at some guys house and the bike was sitting in the garage.

    Awaiting a call back to let me know when its available for pick up.

    I had given up ever seeing it again so this was a huge surprise, I'm so happy!

    Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the support from the forum, I was pretty shitty at the time and it was good for people to keep an ear out and spread the word. Thanks everyone!

    Thanks guys. Apparently its in okay condition, just scratches from where they tossed it in the trailer. The idiots tried to alter the number plate with a texta (I'm gonna guess these guys had the collective IQ of a ham sandwich) and ended up ripping off my homemade fender eliminator.

    Apparently it looked like they got it home and realised they couldn't do anything with it.

    I feel offended, the guys weren't even good thieves.

    Will post some pics in here when I get it home.

    Fab news mate, I kind of thought you would never see the bike again. Great news that the Police have found it and hopefully you'll be back on the road real soon. Just goes to show that crime doesn't pay.

    i am very glad for you but before you ride strip every part you can to se if cut wires, broken plastics etc. itemise and give list of damage and cost of repair to the police so the magistrate can order the offenders to pay.
