I would suggest, for the future, that you look into comprehensive insurance. It covers theft, fire, etc. Homeowners won't cover bikes. It is relatively cheap and I know my policy allows me to insure the bike plus any aftermarket equipment for what it is worth. The deductible is 250. With all the bike thefts lately, it allows me to sleep easy at night when my bike isn't under lock and chain.
Not going to say how, but it really isn't all that hard to convince some hired rent-a-cop that you belong inside the pits for some reason or another. Me thinks a thief bold enough to steal bikes from a race was likely a slick talker and would have no problems talking themselves in...and talking themselves out with their stolen bikes
I 've been using one of these for about a year to track my kid and it is amazing how freaking it good it works. You can set boundary alerts and track anything pretty much real time. Of course I went to fry's and fabricated a box, power supply and all that for it, but you don't need it for a cheap bike insurance policy.
accutracking.com has some basic How To info in their forums.
Thanks a million for posting that.
On a side note:
I'm glad they didn't have GPS tracking when I was a kid.
My parents would have been all over that, and I would prolly still be in hot water with them.
Willy hasnt gotten any leads but we've gotten a few calls here and there. Thanks everyone for the help, you know who you are! We may have a bike lined up for the weekend but we're not sure if thats going to work out or not. I will have an update tomorrow.
I was able to get the word out on the Ellis show yesterday evening but not sure how much was actually broadcast. For some reason my phone was over modulating really bad when we were talking!
We still have hope that someone will do the right thing! Willy is really looking forward to this weekend so we're in scramble mode now!

This past weekend, thieves broke into the Unadilla MX pro paddock and stole two unsecured race bikes, as well as select pieces of Motocross and Off-Road riding and safety equipment. The motorcycles stolen belonged to privateers Ben Lamay and Willy Browning. MX Sports and the Unadilla race organizers are asking for the public’s help in locating these stolen items.
Ben Lamay's 2009 YZ450F has a vehicle ID number of JYACJ10C29A038827. Some unique features on this bike include a rare Dr. D header pipe that has what resembles a handle. In addition, the clutch cover and ignition cover are sandblasted and the number plates are heavily trimmed for better airflow. Finally, the radiators have corner-welded gussets that have been heavily strengthened. The bike also has distinct blue RG3 triple clamps and blue ASV levers. Thieves were able to remove the motorcycle from the Lamays’ trailer.
Willy Browning's 2009 Honda CRF250 has a vehicle ID number of JH2ME10J89K501438. The bike is unique in that is has lower fork sliders that have black diamond coating and the rear shock reservoir is all black.
In addition to the two bikes stolen, the thieves were also able to steal equipment belonging to riders Corey Pennington, Jeff Luke and Nick Sanchez.
The thefts have been reported to the New York State Police and an investigation is in process. They took place during the overnight hours on Friday August 14th and occurred in the Pro Paddock, despite significant overnight security and fencing.
“Motocross is a small community and we hope that by increasing awareness in the public that our odds of recovery will increase. We urge all fans, dealers and riders to keep an eye out for these items” said Carrie Russell, Vice President of MX Sports. “We cannot and absolutely will not tolerate theft at our races. We will do all we can to help these riders and teams recover their stolen equipment.”
If anyone has any further information on this, please contact MX Sports at info@mxsportsproracing.com
