New owner of a 2002 Interceptor, red, 12k, all stock except Givi saddlebags and trunk. This is my second Interceptor, first was a 2000 that was stolen Will post some pics soon!!
Thanks for the warm welcome! VFRShorty - I also hope to have better luck this time around, although I sure know what NOT to do.
I tink bike theives should be hung drawn and quartered and then set on fire, but thats another thread. Welcome!
Congrats on your VFR and welcome to the forum! :smile: Thieves suck ass. If someone stole my VFR, he'd have to pray the police found him before I did. Can't imagine a 5th gen VFR is a hugely popular target in Grand Forks, ND. What happened?
Welcome to the world. Hey that sucks about your 00 getting re-distributed. If it’s not too painful…Let us know what not to do.
TimRav: I actually just moved here, was stolen in Tucson, AZ. Someone is probably enjoying riding it in Mexico right now.
Rhinoward: Here it goes, I was young and stupid, even though I am still young I am not as stupid. At the time I was a mechanic at a local auto shop in Tucson, this guy came up to the shop and asked whose bike it was. I told him it was mine and he asked if it was for sale, and I said NO. He insisted and said he'd been looking for one for some time, seemed like a nice guy. I finally said well I suppose for the right price anything is for sale. So he asked to take it for a test drive (you can see where this is going). I said not without your wallet and keys to your car. So he took off, 5 min....................10 min................30 min.............I said to myself, that a-hole isn't coming back. But then I remembered I have his wallet and car. Turns out the car was stolen the night before, the wallet belonged to the guy that owned that stolen car, I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE DRIVERS LICENSE TO SEE IF THE PICTURE MATCHED!! I had just moved from North Dakota to Tucson, AZ. Growing up in the midwest I learned to trust, 4 years in Tucson I learned NOT to trust. So that is what not to do, now let the laughing begin...............
What an amazing story.It makes real glad that i dont live in the U.S. although in these tough economic times that scenario could be repeated probably anywhere in the world right now.The onty thing here is we a such a small country the perpetrator might run out of places to hide fairly quickly.I guess saying good luck in recovering your beast sounds a bit hollow,but good luck anyway.

Welcome aboard Brew. Sorry to hear of your Tuscon "adventure." You're most like correct regarding where that bike is now. Glad you're back in the VFR fold bro. Keep the shiny side UP!:tongue:
I hope these pictures show up. This is a picture of my 2000 that was stolen. This is a picture (kind of crappy) of my new (to me) 2002.
