    Default Motorcycle Theft!

    I got a rude awakening as I was about to go grocery shopping Saturday morning. It had appeared someone wheeled off the '69 Trail 90 that I had finished restoring. I thought it was a joke at first, but after a few phone calls, I discovered it was indeed stolen. I promptly called the police...who arrived two hours later after multiple calls.

    Well, it was a head turner for sure, but the wrong heads turned apparently

    I received a call today from the police and was hoping it was found in a ditch or something, but they just wanted to know the approximate value argh...

    So, if you find yourself in Arizona and happen to come across a '69 Honda Trail 90 with a VIN of CT90216254, you've discovered my lost friend :'(

    I'm trying to get the word out to as many as possible, probably half of Yuma knows by now, but my bet is that it's in 1000 pieces somewhere in Mexico already.

    RIP little tiddler!

    Man that sucks.. Sorry to hear about your loss.. Can't stand that people find a need to steal to get by in life and can't work hard like the rest of us.

    That just really sux! To have something stolen is bad enough, but something that you have restored is just brutal. Really sorry to hear.
    The end of a good smoke is a little saddening. In some regard, it's a bit like losing a best friend who had time to sit and listen.

    Sorry to hear that Eric, I wish you all the luck in the world that you find it my friend. I know if someone stole my Harley a dead person would be found somewhere!

    Wow -that pic brings back some fond memories for sure! I always wanted a Trail 90. One Saturday morning, my Dad took my brother and I to a town about 45 miles away that had a Honda shop. A couple of hours later, we were terrorizing the dirt roads of West Texas on a candy apple red Scrambler CL-100 ! Good Times!

    Hope you get some good news soon!

    Bro, condolences for losing a close friend. Though it won't be the same, hope the insurance money can get you another good candidate to restore.

    Dude, there is nothing worse than having your pesonall property stolen that means so much to you. We had our Van stolen a couple years ago and after it was finely found with the dash ripped out, the steering column gone, and the the body damage, comming from the body shop and $4000 grand in payments it never felt like it was our van again. You really loose a since of security when something like that happens. Look for pawn shops and local bike collectors. I really hope you find it!

    If you catch the bastards send them to NY. I got a dimly lit room with a chair, rope, razor blade and lemon juice waiting for them.
