The bad news is that you'll probably never see them again.
The good news is that the wheelie boy that rides that 500 will probably kill himself.

On the topic of stolen bikes, write your name on the inside of your bar pad wrap, underside of plastics, as many places as you can that aren't visible and quickly altered. The rationale is that it's easy to remove graphics, do a quick spray paint job, etc. But most thieves don't think to look for that and could help trying to get your bike back if you don't have other documentation (like a lot of dirt bikes). I've never had to utilize it, but just a thought for others in the future.

Unfortunately, this won't help this situation and that's a huge bummer. Hopefully he gets his bikes back.

Why I always ask for a room on the ground floor. Motels hate it when I have to ride the bike up stairs.

speaking of wheelie boys,

Just got bak from the movies, there was a preview for the new ROCKY 37 or whatever, nut they are calling it "Creed". Rocky is now training Apollo's child he left behind.

anyways, they are driving through Philly and bam, a shot of the wheelie boys.


don;t mean to hijack the thread, just reminded me.


Hope you get your bikes back.

Were the bikes in the back of that pickup when they got stolen?

That could atleast stand up. I know it's circumstantial but clearly the bike had to be in your possession at one time to do all that


I'm going out with the sharpie now.


And someone told me not stay at the motel 6 in San bern when I asked about the closest airport thread last week. Good advice I take it !!

Damn that sucks. Other than that hideous tank that thing was cherry. Hope he gets it back and the scum bag loses his life. There is a place in hell reserved for people who steal what means most to others. That asshole is headed there even if he thinks he got away with it for now.

Whenever I stay at a motel I chain up my bike, take the rear wheel off and bring it into the room with me.
