Default She's Gone!

A colleague came up to me on Friday afternoon and asked where my bike was.
At that moment I knew she was gone and I'd never see her again.
Parked in a motorcycle bay right outside my workplace and under two CCTV cameras the bastards must have picked her up and lobbed her into the back of a van.
I'm just numb, lost, very sad.
Sometimes your name comes up to the top of the victim list and there's sod all you can do about it I guess.

Time to find a new mistress.
Watch this space. Every cloud has a silver lining after all.

Sorry man that sucks.
I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it so I am guessing you aint feeling too good.
Don't know what else to say really.
Do bikes go very often? I have a cable lock that I thought i would only use when I went on extended holidays but now I am thinking twice.

Henry, this is the absolute worse news to hear. I am very sorry that your bike is gone.I'd like to think that you will find it unharmed. In the old west there was a way to deal with horse thieves.
Seriously sorry to hear this man..

Oh sh-t Henry - can't tell you how sorry I am to hear that.
Let's hope they find her in one piece and it was just a joyride.......
Maybe a number on the plate from the cctv cameras ?
Revenge will be sweet...........................

Keep us informed of any developments.
Damn I'm sad for you..............

Man that is totally ****ed. I feel for you Henry. We all know how much we all love these old girls and to have one knocked off by thieving low life dogs would be hard to take mate. I hope she comes back in one piece. I ride mine into work and am lucky enough to park it in a secure basement.

Hey:

I sorry to here that happened to you. It is one of the only worries I have when going back and forth to work is leaving it in the parking lot unattended, even with all the cameras nowadays, they still will take the chance. I hope something really bad happens to them.
Bad Karma coming that way to them now!!!!

I feel your pain Henry, I would be devastated if someone ever flogged my old girl.

But I also have to wonder why someone would bother to steal a 25 year old, hard to get into the back of a van motorcycle?

Wouldn't it be much easier to steal an R1 or R6? They might at least have some resale value.

Oh! Henry, that sucks the big fat one............ You have my heart-felt sympathy for your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear that your bike has been taken by thieving, low-life, bottom dwelling, gutter crawling scum. I hope Karma is a bitch to them.

And that you get your mistress back.

Shooting is too good for them, but here's hoping.
