I've not been around for a while, and unfortunately I'm posting to say that my CBR600RR has been nicked (DX04 VND) from Rochester. Was stolen sometime between November and early January (I live and work in Barcelona) despite being covered and loaded with security. Thankfully they left the 'Strada....

Sorry to hear that mate, I had a gixxer600 nicked in 2005 so know exactly what its like! Good luck getting your insurance claim sorted.I'm sorry to hear this Desmo. Apart from crashing, having a bike nicked is every biker's ruddy nightmare.
Would you mind sharing what type of security they got through to steal it? I realise you might feel uncomfortable with that, but if there are any lessons to be learned it would be good to hear 'em if poss.
Might be worth taking your Duke back to Spain with you for a while, 'cause there's a good chance these scum will be back for that

Tell me about it - I had an off on my 749S in august last year too.
Bike had two chains - one through each wheel, and a Xena XN18 disclock/alarm. They left two other bikes there, and I'm guessing they took the CBR to use as a trackbike. There were drag marks on the floor, so they must've got it into a van on the spot.
I've had the same worry about the Multistrada, so have had a dealer collect it to service before I either sell it or get it to Spain.

Mate I am very sorry to hear that....and I hope the fktards that nicked it go through some severe pain in the near future..but don't suppose there are any openings at your company? I love Barcalona...DesmoTip said:
Well on that note - my policy had lapsed (it was parked privately) and one of the things I'd gone back to do was renew it.
Can you not just renew anyway and claim in a few, er, weeks? I may or may not know someone who may or may not have done such a hypothetical similar thing. Cough.hornetrider said:

Scum, absolute scum. I guess there's little point in reporting it? What are the chances of it just being sold on and it being spotted on the road?

B'stards watch for a while and then do the dastardly deed. A friend's Grandmother died, notice put in obituary section of the local paper, within 3 days the house had been cleared out. Nothings sacred.
Whilst tempting the insurance scam route is IMHO a
very poor on the CV.
