The thief caught? Or just the bike recovered?
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

'86 Ambulance - Bent frame, cracked case, due for an overhaul
'89 Stormy Blue - Suits my Dark Side

She is back healthy again.
Once again Henning/Nimbus works a miracle.
Replaced complete front end.
Replaced swingarm and complete rear end.
Replaced Carbs(Arggghhh)
Added storage rack for top and side cases.
Out at Hope this weekend and it was great again.
Clutch next oil change.
Poor lady was really abused by thieves.

Great to see and what a relief for you.  :good2:  Looks like some good riding weather finally.  We have a winter storm warning for Tues in Ont. FFS.  :ireful: Feb seemed warmer than March.  Thought it was warming up but it's been below seasonal for weeks now.  Haven't even got the bike out of storage yet for the spring overhaul.  :cray:

Happy Riding!  :yahoo:

Henning is a super great guy. You are fortunate to have him close by.

Good for you Grumpster! She's back better than ever and lucky to have you as her owner.

Although....I do cringe when I see a helmet perched on a seat or a top box (don't ask)...but that's just me....

Cheers, and congrats!

Actually I keep hoping it falls off in front of the wife.
I really wanted a nice Bell helmet with the transition shield.
Stupid thing never falls when she is around!LOL
