Seeing the before and after photos just about made me sick. I'm so sorry your bike was stolen, and you are at a point to attempt recovery.

Sad. Just sad.

Looks in remarkably good shape all things considered - looks like it did go down on the left side - the rentecs really did their job!

Good luck on reacquiring it!

If you do Fred, you should name it Phoenix.

Looking at the tires brings hope into my heart -

If it had been totally abused, that back tire would like a lot worse IMO

Ignition switch looks intact, any sign of how they hot wired it to get it running to ride it.

Did you restore/rebirth your flaming FJ?

I wonder if the thieves stripped the fairing off in their half baked attempt to disguise it..from looking at the rattle can paint job on the frame.
Good luck getting it back..

Looks like it will be another month before I have the opportunity to get my FJ back. It was suppose to be put up for auction Wednesday June 30th. When I looked on the website for the listed auction vehicles, the FJ was not listed. I made a phone call and was told that Geico was going to pick the bike up.  :mad: :ireful: So it was not listed on the auction page. Geico did not show up on the scheduled time for pick up. As of now the FJ will be listed for the July 28th auction.
