    man this is exactly why i wont keep a bike in an apartment complex without renting a garage. i havent checked national stats, but it wouldnt surprise me at all to see apartment complex parking lots as the #1 place for bike thefts. i hate to see ppl get their bikes jacked like this, and it always makes me cringe to see a bike sitting in an apt complex just waiting for some puke to come along and make it another statistic. i really hope somebody runs across your bike and calls the cops, TJ, nobody deserves this kinda frustration, especially with a nice classic like yours.

    The person or persons that took your motorcycle have habits.
    Like driving by that garage area. Or walking by it everyday at a certain time.

    They will go by it again too. They had to be able to wheel it away or put it in a truck.

    If the steering was not locked it could still be in your neighborhood.


    Note the time it was stolen too. People got habits.
    I hate to mention it but it could be some one you know. Someone you showed your bike to.

    I agree. Apartments are sitting ducks. VERY poor architectural design.
    Rows of vehicles out of view and hearing distance of the owners. Perfect for thieves.
    Hope I never have to live in one of those places.
    No place to work on anything either.
    Just stay in your apt and stare at the computer.
    No wonder those kids are becoming criminals.
    Those apt complexes breed criminals. Nothing to do,no creative space to work in.
    Not meeting other creative people. Just play computer games that kill people or steal cars or do drive by shootings video "games".

    I have seen parents of kids at the shopping mall standing behind their kids watching the kid do drive by shootings on the video screen.
    The parent just standing there watching them.

    Well, No luck finding my bike, and i'm parting my ways with the leftover parts.

    Here is my ebay page with many listings:
    tjworcester | eBay

    Parts include Ignition Boxes, Ignition Coils, basically a full set of carbs, and a few other odds and ins.

    Anyone that is a member on here can take an automatic $5 or 10% (whichever is higher) off of every item you buy, I'm thankful for the help over the years and would like to pay you guys back for all you have done!


    I also want to mention, I still have the full fairing for this bike, but I am missing half of the mounting brackets, they went with the bike. I figured I'd leave that off of ebay and give members here the first option. Anyone interested just let me know what youd be willing to pay for it!

    Thanks for all you guys have done, let me know if you have any quesitons!

    Sorry to hear it never worked out. May the bastards that stole it get herpes from a whore, and good luck to you in someday getting another one.
