That is a terrible thing, to lose something AND for the little f*cks to also vandalize it.
I am sorry about your loss.

I agree on the whole 5 minutes alone with the thief.
In 08 my R1 was stolen (from the Springs) and recovered a year later across the country in North Carolina!
Have you heard from the insurance yet?
If your bike gets stolen, check ebay, stuntlife.com and craigslist classifieds, half the stuff there is stolen

sorry ive been wicked busy trying to get old girl back together the last couple days.
GRIM - the cops didnt get prints. its colorado springs, they dont do shit here.
Lowes and Home Depot carry this graffiti remover that comes in a spray bottle like windex. i stripped the bike and sprayed everything, let it sit a few minutes and then took like a car cleaning brush and the paint literally wiped right off. no damage to the clear coat at all... although they did manage to get a few fairly deep scratches i should be able to wetsand, wax and buff everything out! the nose fairing needs to be replaced as they put 2 - 2" cracks in it.
i shaved the top clamp and relocated the ignition (dont ask where it is)
found a rim and a tire on ebay to replace the one they stole
they broke the bump stop on the clutch lever that prevents it from extending backwards so i hadta order new aftermarket levers (not sure what their purpose was for that)
they stole my gas cap and put a small crease in my tank, a friend had a replacement for me
while its tore down i ordered new exhaust, bmc filter, new plugs, changed my oil to sikolene full synthetic, topped all other fluids. did the kleen air mod and a couple other misc. detail things. just waiting on parts right now
glad u got her back!
Sounds like you are going to have to start calling her "Phoenix"...risen from the ashes.
Good work getting her all back together and upgraded.
Ciao,

Isn't that it's second "resurrection"? I think you definitely call her "Phoenix".
Agreed. Had people break into my house last year and rob it. Cops didn't notice the pry marks on two other windows and a door, nor did they even try to grab fingerprints or anything.
guess that's why it's the dirty south gotta get your vigilante justice on!
