You wear a helmet right?

Sorry, but I figured since everybody was taking turns on you it might seem like I didn't like you if I just didn't say anything.

I sure do wear a helmet! Saved my noggin a couple of times now. Maybe I need to ride without it and jog things back into place?

I did not see the pictures. Not sure if they were added later or just hadn't loaded when I posted my original reply.

That's just brutal looking. Give the guard a kick in the pants. That looks like a smash and grab so I don't know how useful a car alarm is going to be once the thieves get use to pulling the parts out.

Looking at the pictures brings to mind the phrase "Low life egg sucking dog".

I didn't wear a helmet until I took a cicada between the eyes at 85. Parking a bike on the side of a busy highway while blind is exactly the kind of life-changing spiritual experience I hope like hell to avoid if possible.

Ride Safe.

That was nothing short of RAPE! How dare those mangy dog(s) be allowed to roam the streets of NJ or anywhere else. Here's hoping their bad karma comes back on them tenfold! Sorry to see such a wonderful dealership get attacked that like. I'm pretty sure there was no damage to all the porches, feraris and other high end vehicles on the massive Edison lot but then they target our little guys. It truly should be a hanging offense!

Danny, since someone said the VIN is attached to that stolen cluster, how about posting the VIN#?

Also to the moderators, I think a new forum should be started so we can quickly identify patterns of theft so items like this don't get lost in the threads or in General Discussions. How about it?

Thanks, Regina

Uh no.

I know you are trying to use hyperbole to some effect but no..

Breaking into a car does not a rape make.

rape n.- The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse. (Webster)

That is WAY different and not funny.

It may not be "rape", but I get what they mean. Have you ever been stolen from, where someone broke in to the place and took just about everything you had??? It's a terrible and I could see the analogy.
