3Up Racing reduced to 2 - thieving scum!
 

It doesn't look like I'll get to race again this year as I've woken up to an empty garage this morning. Yup, the thieving *******s stolen the bike, and also most spares like wheels, body work, helmets, leathers (with my name stitched on the back), gloves, boots, etc. They also took a number of power and hand tools.

Looks like to came through a back window and out the front of the garage. It must have happened during the night while we were asleep. I can't believe that didn't hear anything since it's an attached garage. Interestingly, there was a bunch of stuff they didn't take: two push bikes (nice ones), all my mechanics tools in a large rollaway chest, a few power tools, etc., but they took my 60cm spirit level!

Police have been around and they reckon that some things will turn up, especially since the bike is a one-of-a-kind, not road legal nor registered and none of the spares fit a standard bike. Not holding up to much hope to be honest though.

Anyway, if you see someone offering this bike for sale, or an unusual amount of race parts like Ohlins forks, shocker, magensium yokes, race wheels with Michelin wets and Michelin Race 2, carbon race body work, etc, etc, I'd appreciate a word.

Various theories about the kind of scum that did this. If it was a professional bike gang that new I had this bike, I doubt they would have taken all the other stuff, even if they were trying to disguise themselves as opportunistic thieves. If it was opportunistic scum, which is more likely, then they have no clue what they've got. They won't even be able to start it!

Any input/feedback would be greatly appreciated. I will post this on some other sites as well, but feel free to spread the word.

Here are a couple of pics of the bike as it looked yesterday and one with the other set of body work:

Not having fun at the moment...
:mad::(

that is truly sh** news mate .. heres hoping for you ..... :(

:( ****... sorry to hear that Felix.

Sounds like a pro job though - what they've taken could be lifted quietly (bike excluded) - I would think the rollaway chest would be too heavy to lift and would make quite a noise being moved hence leaving it behind.

I take it your bike wasn't anchored?

I must admit I stand & anchor mine & leave the trembler alarm on.

Have always found your input informative for the track day virgin like myself .....................Monday the 4th looms!!!!!

As the feds say you should get all/most of your gear back... gods speed you do!:)

:(

hope some news comes in for you:(

I'm absolutely gutted for you Felix. That really sucks!

I hope something turns up and they will definitely have difficulty trying to move that bike on.

Bad luck dude, sorry to hear it.

**** m8 thats bleak..................

sounds like an organised Hit.........................no way a single person can steal a bike..its a van and 3 peeps minimum.................

weeksy said you can use his bike for Oulton park if you need it...let me know via u2u if he can help

Phil

Shee@*%^iii@te mate!

I hate thieves, especially bike thieves :mad:

I'll post this up on Throttle Monkeys, dibble can you do VD as I cannot get to VD from work now!

JPM, ahead of you already mate ....

Engine and Frame numbers please? Would help if anyone spots something suspicious...

Damn Felix, that's harsh. Hopefully the DD boys will keep an eye out around the paddocks too.

Damn thats bad news , Theres a dealer near to me that specialises in trackbikes and damage repairables , I,ll stick my head round the door and give them a heads up so they can keep an eye out for it .


Paul

really gutted for you.... would be nice for it all to turn out well for once and the scum get stuck away.

fingers crossed

Gutted for you, has to be an organised job, to be that quiet and eficient.

I've got a couple of those parts in my ebay wish list, so if something pops up on the radar I'll U2U you.

Fcuking nightmare. :( Someone should go to work on 'em with a bit of nitromoors and a stanley knife.

I really hope you get to see the bike again, we'll be keeping an eye out in the paddock.

Good luck,

Ali

**** mate

Lets hope they catch the basterds and then cut their ****ing hands off and then shove their heads up their asses:flame:


Will post it on SWB you never know.

Fingers crossed for you mate.

Gutted for you Felix. I hope the scum gets what they deserve and you get her back........

That's such **** news - gutted for you. Hope you get something sorted out and get the bike back.

Tim

Have posted it on http://www.hullbikers.com

Thats terrible news, I certainly hope the one off nature of your bike will lead to its recovery, these theiving scum need a harsher punishment than the law hands out to deter others.
here's hoping the scum get caught.

Shocked for you mate. As everyone else has said, lets hope the scum get caught red handed :mad:

that's awful news, I'm really gutted for you.
I have always liked the look of that bike (well put together)
hope that you get some info or the whole thing back even.
good luck

:flame:

Felix,

Have you got a contact number for the Police, or an incident number.
Would be worth it just in case anything turns up.

Sorry to hear about your loss, that's f**ing sh*te that. I know, I've had bikes (plaural!) stolen in the past.
I'll keep an eye out for anything that crops up on the our autotrader website.

Got a mate who rides in the north glos club, he will spread the word:cool:

Oh christ Felix, I am absolutey gutted for you, I can't believe it and such a fantastic bike too.

I really hope she turns up in one piece :(

Thanks for all your sympathy. I can certainly do with that. What ****es me off as well is that the garage is fully alarmed and I simply didn't set it last night.

Police telephone is 0845 6060247 (ask for CID)
Incident number is 1051820108

Felix, I've posted this in the motors section of another forum I read. I know it's a long shot but every little bit can help :)

:mad: WA**ERS :mad:

Really sorry for you Felix, makes you wanna kill them, if you ever caught them.

Hi Felix mate, just heard about this, what a sickener.

Murphy's law in action, by the sound of it.

Am spreading the word hereabouts.

We'll nail the b*stards.

Heading off to the local pickey sites now! :mad:

Ahh mate thats really **** hope they find the ****ing thieving scum bag *******s and string the *******s up.... ****
Keep an eye on ebay too just incase they try to off load via that.

Auto censors working fine

I feel for you Felix, like Keefyb I had abike nicked from my garage in the dead of night. For ages afterwards I would get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I went into the empty garage. I know none of this helps and only the full recovery of the bike will every satisfy you. I really do hope you get a good result.

That is really bad news! Just seen it on VD sadly you can do all the things you think you need to to stop things like this happening and still they are that determine to get what they want it makes you think why did i bother!:mad:
Really hope something turns up for you or someone saw something and can help!

Felix

I am so gutted for you :( Jon rang and told me today and I just felt sick for you.


If I had not just sold the 748 you could have used her to race on :(

If you are still coming to Oulton you are welcome to share Bob with me for the day as I assume you are in the fast group.
