Gas up - Let's Go! Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Guys, any help at all with this would be most greatfully recieved. This is a fellow bikers post of XT660.com (Bullit). My Yamaha XT600E reg Q587UAR was stolen tonight whilst visiting a friend in Eltham, SW9. If you guys can please be on the lookout for it I would appreciate it. It has certain distinguishing features that makes this bike quite unique. It is completely WHITE, has an Acerbis long range tank, Aluminium rims, stainless spokes with TKC's fitted, Ohlins rear shock, aluminium bash plate, Renthal gold handlebars and Barkbusters handguards (White). Also a new Hepco & Becker pannier rack fitted recently after the photo was taken. I dont know if this is a lost cause but I have to keep hoping that it will be found fairly intact. It has a very distinctive oversized long range tank on it. These are like rocking horse crap and come up for sale less times than Christmas.

Mark K Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Had mine stolen on Tuesday night, it was locked up on the driveway by the front wheel, with camera focused on it. Their solution... They brought their own front wheel, nicked the bike and left me with the locked up wheel!, they weren't aware of the camera though so I've got a few good mugshots. Bought a replacement bike yesterday rather than wait for the insurance to cough up. Now the front wheel, rear wheel and frame are chained to a structural part of the house (front porch pole), sure it'll stop them but it's ridculous how far we have to go to stop these guys, it also adds an extra few minutes to every trip out now. A friend told me that he had a ground anchor on his bike... they dug it up and took it with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 A friend told me that he had a ground anchor on his bike... they dug it up and took it with them! I had a friend who had his anchor in his garage wall, they used a battery powered motor rake, and took the brick! If they want it, they'll take it - we can only make it harder for them.....
