That is by far the biggest nightmare I could think of.Getting your bike or even parts stolen from it.

 

Not a Harley stolen. In 1988, I bought a brand new Kawasaki Ninja, 600.
I added about $2,000 in custom mods at the dealership.

I had the bike about 2 months, and kept it parked at night on my porch, next to the front door.
Got up one morning, grabbed my helmet , walked out the door, only to find my bike gone, and the ignition pulled, laying on the ground a few feet from where the bike was parked.

They found the bike about a month later, totaled, and dumped in a wood line off the side of the highway.

I had to pay $800 to have the bike totaled, due to depreciation.

 

had a 1947 Knuckle stole from my front yard in a small town in southern Illinois my buddies couldn't believe it. found bike destroyed in eastern Tenn. Cops let the guy go said its just an old Harley. Sure do miss that old ride

 

Not a Harley...As a kid, My dad bought me a '73 Rupp Enduro (Red) and had it for a year then somebody stole it. Then dad bought me a '74 Rupp Scrambler (Green). Had it for a while before I moved up to Can-Am 125. Good ol' days, but thieves have no purpose to live on this Face of Earth. They need to be shot to their deaths.

Thorey

 

When I was a kid I had a Suzuki motocrosser stolen from a shed behind my folks house. I could see where it was walked through the woods because of the tracks in the snow.
A few months later in early spring some lady called the cops and said there had been an abandoned motorcycle in her yard all winter. It appears the thief rode it until it ran out of fuel and dumped it. I sold it some time later to a guy I believe actually stole it. I only had a hunch but could never prove it.

 

I'm a thief. I admit it. And I don't care what anyone says, I'm proud of it. Call me a scum bag? I don't care. I've been steeling girl's virginity for 20 years and I'll keep doing it until I'm too old.

 

My Retriever found a moped dumped in the weeds when we were pheasant hunting. The cops acted like I was a PITA when I reported it, because it was so far off the road. I imagine the college kid who got it back felt differently.

 

Short answer...not yet

 

nope, never have any bike taken..

 

I had a Puch moped stolen, at the mall back in the 80s.. I parked and locked it at the bike rack. I always suspected the mall cops of taking it because it was so close to the entry.

I have gap insurance so I'm really more worried about someone screwing with it and having to deal with with a messed up bike.
