A 110 lb. dude on a 450...ain’t gonna happen.
After closer inspection of my policy, I have comp coverage not just theft/fire. It will be covered under vandalism. It’s going to be at least 2k just for all the parts to fix it. I’ve got $600 in the suspension alone, so if Geico pays I think it’s worth fixing.

Could you claim it on your homeowners AND motorcycle coverages? It was stolen out of your HOUSE.
So are/will the cops do anything to figure out who took it in the first place? Guess I'm naive, but there must be finger prints all over that bike. (I am watching too much CSI)
At least you have some "closure" and found it. So bummed you had to deal with this John.

Geico is sending an adjuster out next week. Doug, motor vehicles are excluded on HO policies so no go there. Yes Teri, youve been watching too much CSI. Stolen dirt bikes are low priority. The fact that the house was broken into moves it up a notch but Ill be surprised if a detective calls. Sue, youll get there...just keep up those two-a-day workouts. Stu, I left that purple backpack b/c I know it matches most of the clothes that you wear.

As for 2 vs. 4 stroke, the ring ding has been the perfect dirt bike for me. It’s light enough that even I can throw it around and it makes more power than I know how to use. However, I’d love to have a new WR250 also…and a TZ250, and a KTM EXC SM, and a CBR600RR, and a DZ400, and...

Unfortunately, at least with State Farm, motorized vehicles not used to maintain your home, are not covered by a homeowners insurance policy. I discovered thsi a few years back because I one of those cheap ass stand-up gas powered scooters that goes like 25mph. They came into my garage, stole my mountain bike, my sub out of my truck, my scooter, and a bunch of power tools. Sub covered under vehicle policy only, even though vehicle was in my garage, and the scooter not covered because it is gas powered and doesn't have its own insurance policy, and it's not used to maintain the home (i.e. lawn power, weed eater, etc.)
Really sucks to hear about that. I'd focus on people that live near you and have seen it out before.

Actually I remember an interview with Ricky C. awhile back on SPEED vision where they asked him what he thought about the switch to the 450. He said straight out that he loved his 250, but had to make the switch to the 450 to remain competitive, even though he really didn't need the help to stay out front. Several mechanics such as Jeremy Mcgraths, even said the 4 strokes are so ridiculously fast and reliable that it is inevitable that the 2 strokes will become obsolete!

LPD called Friday saying that a dude was arrested with my riding gear by DPD. I took over pics and receipts of my gear and talked to the detective working the case. He’s charging this punk with felony theft and burglary. Dude’s name is Justin and I figured out who he is after sleeping on it. He’s a buddy of my former loser neighbor, "Bob" that was arrested for breaking into another unit while he was living here. Bob was always enamoured with my bike and I even thought of him when this first happened. I’m working on finding him now so LPD can arrest him too. I’m sure he is the instigator and Justin was along for the ride.

NICE! Hope they get it crammed up their ass!
Holy crap! Glad they got the guy and hopefully you can sue the crap out of him... what crap's left in him, of course.
Did the guy have any damage on his person?
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Considering the rash on my gear, Id say hes a hurtin unit. He actually called DPD to report that he was involved in a hit and run accident. Then he changed his story saying that his friend pushed him off the back of a moving motorcycle. The evidence is starting to pile up and if the DA is game, IM GOING TO PUT THESE FUCKERS IN PRISON!
