mznyc Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Oh man,sorry to hear that.Hope your insurance covers you. It won't be easy to sell that stuff as the MG market is small and probably more than 50% of the UK V11 owners are on the forum.So here's to catching the sticky finger bas&@ds Do you know how to set up Ebay notifications?You can do a search for V11 parts and save it,ask Ebay to notify you of any new listings.Works pretty well. Michael
Trevini Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Sorry to hear that Mike. I'll kep my eyes open for you. Trev
ScuRoo Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Aw shit, I feel for ya Mike. I hope they do hard-on cell time... Give us a bit of background on the theft - was it from home garage or street? What security did they get through on the bike? Any suggestions?
Admin Jaap Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Cr*p! I'll keep my eyes open here in Holland. Good luck!
Guzzirider Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Sorry to hear that. I will tip off Ed at Gutsibits in case someone offers it to him. Bike theft in Sussex seems bad at the moment I have heard a few unfortunate tales recently.
tikkanen Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Fecking tea-leaves! Sorry to hear that, Mike. I'll keep eyes and ears wide open and will post on the Danish Guzzi forum. Cheer up, mate. Søren
HaydnR Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 That' bad news. I reckon it will be on the continent by now, it may be worth posting on as many forums as possible.
motoguzzimick Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Aw shit, I feel for ya Mike. I hope they do hard-on cell time... Give us a bit of background on the theft - was it from home garage or street? What security did they get through on the bike? Any suggestions? no just the steering lock and chain... But it was covered up and out of sight from the road, whoever took it wanted a guzzi v11 with all the trimmings. i hadnt ridden the bike for a week as i feeling a bit off ,the battery was flat and id disconnected it. seriously though the thing was dripping in parts,i had it for just over 10 years and rode it most days ,it will turn up somewhere and someone will be offered the parts or the bike as a whole.the speedo shows 19000 the orange pointer bit has faded and fallen off and the trip dosn,t work properly,the paint is faded and bubbled on the tank,it has a carbon tank pad,a cat eye lens in the back of the seat hump as well takes an 18/5 w lamp it looks used not pristine at all keep an eye out
tikkanen Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Done deal, Mike. Fingers crossed that the plods will find your jewel in one piece. All the best Søren Notice on DK Guzzi forum
gstallons Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The bad part of all this is............. The clowns will find it is too exotic to sell or part out and toss it into the river. Just post it in the paper for them to return it w/no ?s asked.
Guzzirider Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Ive advised Gutsibits and Reboot Spares. Helen has put notices up on Facebook on various club pages. Hope you get her back
Ritratto98 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Ive advised Gutsibits and Reboot Spares. Helen has put notices up on Facebook on various club pages. Hope you get her back Sorry to hear that. I hope she comes home soon. A Rosso Mandello, si?
Ritratto98 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I sent to a friend in Sussex via FB, with a photo to help a bit.
