Congrats and welcome! :) It's a fantastic ride! Enjoy! PS: I prefer the gen 2 styling, but the gen 1 is where it all started!

Wow!!!! ??? Thanks for sharing! Glad you managed to keep the bike in shape both times. :)

Agreed. Interesting interdependencies on the stolen van used to steal a bike. So they stole the bike with a stolen van. Did they steal a car to get to the stolen van? Or did they acquire the stolen van from a 3rd party? If so, where did the 3rd party get it? Too bad we can't just eliminate...

Congrats! :thumbsup:

All good suggestions. But we agree that if a bike is targeted, a professional thief WILL be able to get it. All anti-theft measures can be defeated given enough time, effort, patience and planning. I'm paranoid about this sort of thing, but long ago I decided that I would pay full coverage...

Condolences on the loss. Well done on the investigation, thought I couldn't finish it. Seems the thieves stole your supply of periods, too. Seriously, I stopped reading this post due to the lack of periods. I'll be I'm not the only one to bail. I understand not bothering with comma's and...

:welcome: Stage2! No idea what the issue might be but I'll be watching with interest for what it turns out to be. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Wow. Quite a journey...and with a happy CONTINUATION! :thumbsup: :cheerleader: Continued best of luck!

39F right now. Time to move the Busa into the bedroom. :whistle:

To echo the sentiments... Happy New Year to all! :rudolph::rudolph::rudolph: May it be safe, prosperous and fun for all! Melodic PS: I know that's a Christmas emoticon, but I thought it was very New Year-ish. :)

ZRXMAX, While I appreciate the "it takes two to tango" philosophy and I will certainly concede that the "I didn't see him (the motorcyclist)" defense as generally being abused, I will respectfully disagree with you on the final assessment in this particular incident. In particular, you have...

First things first: RIP to the rider and condolences to the family. Rider was going too fast, plain and simple. At 100 mph he's moving at about 142 feet/sec. Reviewing the vid, I identified the accident location/car as a trouble spot at 2:52. The rider yelled at 2:53, indicating that he...

Mine Next! :thumbsup: :bowdown:

Ya know, there are lots of varying, even differing, opinions in this thread. I suspect that is due in large part to varying levels of information and/or understanding of that information. However, I also suspect that some these differences are explained by our own assumptions, which probably...
