			Posted here for exposure. 
Between 08-25-14 6pm - 8-26-14 9am my bike was stolen in a gated car park.  
Police and insurance already called, so just asking you guys to keep a look out for the bike! Thanks guys!       
Above picture is old, but it has blue braided brake lines now!  
Also if it helps, im running extremely weird tires for this type of bike. They have a very unique profile and are usualy found on touring bikes. I actually have never seen another sport bike with these tires so that might help.      |   |   |   |      |  08-26-2014, 09:19 AM | #2 |   | Diagonally parked in a parallel universe

			Hopefully the thief will crash and get f%$ked up and you get all your money back from insurance.  Otherwise eyes peeled in N. Delta/Burnaby.

			Don't you parked in an attached garage?
 I hope you just get insurance paid in full, no one wants a molested bike back.

			Wow, sorry to hear your bike was stolen.. It scares me how often this kind of shit happens.
 What area was the bike stolen from? You've got my eyes peeled out in Vancouver.

			Richmond area, no 3 blundell closest intersection
 Yea those assholes went through 2 gated garages (second one closes at 8) to get to my bike. Seems like it was planned and eyeing my bike for awhile.
 
 Lesson learned, spend the money on security, i just kept putting it off until it was convenient for me to pop by the store to get a lock and alarm

Considering the length the theives went to, to obtain your bike, I'm guessing your bike was targeted rather than it being a "crime of opportunity", like most joy riders tend to be.  
Feels very similar to Sunfighter's stolen bike.  They also broke through a secured/gated and monitored parking garage; and he even had his bike wedged in between his car and the wall.  I wonder if it's the same crew.

			^ unfortunately i have to agree.  if theres a will, theres a way.  if these guys do take your gsxr for a joyride i hope they award themselves the darwin award.
