Damn nice rig, but, STOP PUTTING MOTO STICKERS ON YOUR HAULERS DUDES. Your just making it easier pickings.

Good luck to you guys.

We always talked about putting (snake charmer stickers) on our trailers.lol Never did. I think it's required to display your sponsors though. Stinking thieves.

I'm pretty sure stickers or no stickers the thieves already know there's an event in town.

In my opinion even if there's no sticker when they see a trailer being pulled behind a truck or a van during that time of year they know there's a good chance there's something in it worth stealing. The event is always around that time of the year besides that I'm sure they hear the event promotions on the radio or see it on TV so they're aware folks with bikes will be coming to town.

Either way it sucks to get your shit stolen. We never had our bikes or sleds stolen but they stole the trailer during winter time right out of our yard. Probably thought the sleds were in it.

Hopefully the cops act quick and recover the bike and trailer.

Keep an eye on YouTube. More than likely going to end up being seen in a video or two.

100% theives will know, but if you're gonna look at sponsor value of having those stickers on there vs risk, it's a no brainer.

The urge to look factory and be a player outweighs sensible logic.

There's not a requirement at amateur level to display on vehicles/trailer's. On the bike and rider yes.What always baffled me was all the people who pay $$ for the decals (Fox is the biggest one) to put on there trucks/trailers,they are paying to advertise for these company's just to look cool. I guess they don't understand how real sponsorship works!! but hey they might look the part.
When I raced the only decals on my bike etc. came from my actual sponsors. anyway I hope jason gets all his stuff back and I'll post on FB too,good luck

That's what happens when you run a Honda sticker on your hauler and ride a KTM.

Next year I am gonna get a used trailer, Moto it up and go pick up every Pit Bull about to be put down in Atlanta.

Leave it outside the dome.

Let them open that one up.

I'm not sure what being licked by 27 Pit Bulls will do, but what the heck!

Brayton's van reported missing as well, according to his mechanic. No bikes in it at least

I always wished the local cops would set up a sting at A1.
Load up a truck and trailer for bait and wait for the bad guys.
Probably only 5 or 10 real crooks looking to get a big score like that, a sting might get the bad apples early in the day?

I understand that theft is a major issue and it can be reduced with police presence, but why are there so many riders who do not have insurance on their bikes and trailers? Insurance on motocross bikes is ridiculously cheap and the same is said for trailers. Theft doesn't only happen in Atlanta.

Not true actually, I'm just a Vet class off-road racer and I've gained most of my substantial sponsors by keeping a clean, professional looking appearance including hauler. A few of them requiring a certain deminsion sticker on the van or trailer but I've found most benificial the fact that when resume season comes around, a few pics of that whole pit/bike set up go a huge way. If you're talking 50/65% off products I'm already using, it's worth the risk. In my old age I'll not run a single sticker on any thing just to look cool. I understand that a lot do but I would say that the biggest argument should be over proper insurance. It also helps I sleep out of my van and never leave anything overnight anywhere.

I guess you could always check the name on the suspension settings sticker
