Guys,

Great news — the bike has been recovered!

The police found it ditched about 10 minutes away from us. The ignition was removed, but the bike is still in one piece.

What a relief... whoo!

Still can't believe that happened.

Thank you everyone for keeping an eye on it  :morning1:

It does not matter how slowly I go as long as I do not stop.

MarioR,
Hooray!  :yahoo:  :good2:  :i_am_so_happy:  :biggrin:

You prolly needed some new keys anyway. Happy trails.
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

wow that's great news! and kind of a surprising ending, I wonder if it was a joy ride or if somebody realized moving a rare bike on the black market will be difficult.

Ok time to put a GPS tracker on it, a padlock on the rotor and a security camera facing it whenever it's parked.

Looks like they took it just to try to make a couple of bucks for drugs... unfortunately  :negative:

They damaged the ignition but weren't able to start the bike. They also tried to remove the seat, but it looks like that didn't work either. They even tried using a pry bar on the tank... no luck  :Facepalm:

Basically, they didn't really know what to do with it. Since it was posted everywhere, they probably decided it was better to ditch it than deal with the consequences.

After several failed attempts, they gave up and left it.

Definitely getting an Apple tracker and keeping it stored inside from now on  :morning1:
