Good to see you still have your ride. My son was camping near the Montana, Canada border 2 weeks ago and some a-holes stole his dirt bike. Snuck it out of camp at night. He,s pretty sure it was some members of the tobacco plains Indian tribe. We hope they kill themselves on it.

I'm installing a Siren II and Pager System on my '07 King Classic as soon as I receive them from the UPS truck. I would hate to loose my bike but there's also about 5K in HD accessories on it, or soon will be.

No, that's when you get up--pull your pistol and kill at least one of them and empty the rest of the clip into the van where people should be sitting. Then you wait on the police to come while you call your lawyer and tell him what you have done.

No need for a lawyer here in Texas. There is not a jury in this state that would find you guilty of anything but using good judgment.

Yeah, I already told him I owe him lunch, a six pack of beer, or whatever.

At least I didn't get hit by one of these rogue motorcycle jacking groups being talked about here. It would be nuts for someone to do that.

Better get a lawyer---all the classes teach you that. Every bad guy has a crying mother and girlfriend who is the mother of some of his poor babies. They will be standing in front of a news camera proclaiming how this is a mistake and you murdered their loved one. That he was just admiring your bike with his buddies. Sure a grand jury will no bill you but you will still need a lawyer. JMO
