No bars behind those glass doors with THOUSANDS of dollars in bikes just sitting right there, just dumb. There’s a reason Langston has all his cool bikes and championship bikes hanging from the rafters at his shop, or all the bars behind the doors at the PC shop in corona. Sucks, but gotta be better prepared especially for a shop. 

So your saying it's Phoenix Racing/ Honda  fault?

Gotcha

By the looks of the pictures, someone could’ve thrown a rock through the door/window, then push the bikes through said area. If that was my place and this happened to me, my pops would by like wtf do you have all those bikes behind glass doors what do you expect to happen?? Or should I just have more hope in people doing the right things?

The last hooded rat appeared to be shopping around for the one that fit him just right.  
 

Scumbags, all of ‘em.

It's North Carolina, we have hope people will do the right thing.  Place was paradise 10 years ago before the yuppies had to fuck it up.

Doubt the front wheel bearings on those bikes will ever get worn out.

Back in December, I flew from Phoenix to DC with a layover in Charlotte. The plane leaving Phoenix was full of illegal aliens going to be released in NC.  I mean full. These were not Spanish speaking people, either.  Not saying it’s related to this theft, but can’t be helping the overall crime situation there.  It’s a shame, too since my wife and I were looking to retire possible out by Asheville, but now will probably go further north.

Wait what?  Those didn't look like yuppies in that video. They looked like the people yuppies move away from.

Grew up going to Buck mountain a few times a year for family trips, used to hangout with our cousin who was at Appalachian state and go snowboarding and enjoy downtown Boone with some occasional trips to Charlotte. Went back for his wedding 2 years ago after not being there for around 10 years, was blown away at how “urban” everything felt.

As long as they took cleaning out the place there must not have been an alarm going off.

There's a certain type of person who votes to be soft on crime and likes to allow things like this to happen. I think that's what Sandusky was getting at.

By the time the alarm companies tries the two or three phone numbers they have before they call dispatch.  The bad guys are gone.  Not all alarms anymore directly mean an officer is on the way based on what little I know.

That sucks!  Hopefully they catch them. Those bikes are going to be hard to disguise.  What are the chances they take off the plastic and put new ones on?  Or do they rip off the decals and put new ones on to hide the bikes in plain sight.   I'd contact plastic and decal companies see if I could get some information to them to see if they get orders for such and such bike to contact them.

63 year life long resident of the NC foothills here.  Asheville is 1.5 hrs west of me.  I’ve been calling Asheville the San Francisco of the East for the last 15-20 years.  I’ll go up for a day trip but no more over nighters there for me.  NC mountains are beautiful but if you’re looking to move here, I’d look at some of the smaller towns and communities.

If I remember correctly, don’t Phoenix run blue seats and gold rims on their Hondas?  Should be easy to spot one out in the wild, compared to most CRF’s.  Most people wouldn’t spot A-kit suspension from a distance but gold rims and a blue seat should make someone paying attention give it a double take.

Those nice  race bikes will be wheeling through some city streets in no time. 

And promptly blow up cause they don’t have race fuel 😢

Seems like this happens a lot of the east coast. I’m sure they’ll get them back though. Those bikes are too recognizable. 

West coast Norcal Sac area, less than two weeks ago. One of the largest shops around. Thieves drove a 4 wheel drive truck through the front doors. They had a u-haul truck waiting, and loaded up 10 bikes.

Looks ike a bunch of members ought to be glad a former mod isn't here to clip them or administer the ban hammer for their insensitive remarks regarding oppressed victims of our society. Perhaps some sensitivity or DEI training would help correct their faulty thinking.Whistling

I don't think any posts in this thread are inherently out line of but there was a point a few years back when GuyB was at the helm where there was straight up racist and nasty shit posted whenever a "wheelie boy" thread was created. It seems like the only people mad about GuyB were the ones generalizing when some dipshits did dumb shit like this.

I wasn't saying they were - I was being humorous, yet serious about the consequences, at the same time.

Gonna disagree on the other - I saw people get clipped for even posting the term Wheelie Boys (or alluding to them) under the previous regime.

There's a reason he has the rep he has with the majority of the board - he earned it. The ones who disagree are generally of the same political persuasion as him.

The best way to kill stereotypes is NOT to do stereotypical stuff.

This theft would be a full send fail of the above statement.

And posting that would have gotten me clipped before.  I was one of the ones clipped just for stating the WB were behind some of the thefts.  Even when the video evidence proved it.

GuyB straight up said Wheelie Boys were off limits here and it was the same with politics. No-go zone.  It was always said thst stolen bike threads were like fly paper for people to be banned.  Easy pickings.  I even got the ban hammer myself once in one of those threads for saying thieves should die, which may or may not have been warranted...

My exact thoughts. 100% drained of fluids.
