They almost got it

[Louwai]

Had to go to Brisbane for work.
Left the bike at the airport on Tuesday morning & came back yesterday arvo.
I went to put the key in the ignition & noticed that the little weather cover was not across the key hole. After looking closely I could see the bent steel where someone has inserted something & tried to turn the ignition.

I looked closer & then I saw the hammer marks & broken casting.
They've used a steel bar & a hammer & tried to smash the entire ignition chamber off the front of the clamp.

They were either disturbed, or the alarm went off & they ran. I reported it to the cops & have a copy of the report.
I was still able to insert the key & ride home.
Am getting a quote from Mick Hone today to fix it. We'll see what the insurance says.

damn - that suxs dude! was their any camera's around where you parked it?

Also did you get a print out of the dynotune from PTR? Wouldn't mind seeing how yours pulled up! :)

Yeah Chris. The coppers said they would "review the footage" of the bike park area for Tuesday night.
I doubt if they'll see much & I'm pretty sure he was only going thru the motions for my insurance claim.

I've got it at home. Was leaning out after about 7500rpm. Which is why they reckon I need a new fuel pump. Comment was that the pump can't keep the pressure up to the engine at high revs.
It pulled up at 175hp which personally I think is not bad for an 04 stock std original engine with 64000klm on it.
It's enough for me anyway

That sux man, but lucky, i know what it feels like to have pride and joy go missing, my zx14 went a few months ago, insurance finally came through and now i'm on the darkside with a turbo BUSA.

Someone tried the same thing on my little SV some months back. Cost the insurance company nearly $1000 to replace all the barrels, labour and towing. I wasn't able to start the bike to ride it to the workshop unfortunately.

I now use a visible wheel lock on the rear wheel, even if they unlock it it'll be a bitch to move (get about half a turn out of the wheel). And if they really want to take it, they'll have a ute or truck with hoist anyway.

Just had the insurance quote done at Mick Hone.
$1330.00 for a new lock set, new clamp bracket, & fitting.

Will get that to the insurance crowd today.

I did a job at brisbane airport yesterday that took 3 hours. Accidentally left the key in the bike the whole time. Lucky she was still there when I got back.

We'll see how the insurance goes Rod. If they find some way of squirming out of the payment, then that will be my next path.

November last year I posted on here that I insured my bike with ebike insurance.
Full comp value of $12,500. (stock 2004)
$329 / yr ($450 excess)

Some were sceptical & asked me to post claim info if I ever had one.
So here it is.

Last week someone tried to steal my bike from the airport & damaged the ignition & steering lock unit.
Needs a full lock set & ignition unit replacement & some other damage fixed.
I initiated a claim via phone last Thursday (1st May), I was requested to get ONE quote from my choice of repairer (Mick Hone).
I did report it to the police & I supplied a copy of the police report to the insurance company.
The claim was approved Tuesday (6th May) & a fax was sent to Mick Hone same day to confirm & go ahead with the repair work.

Approval & confirmation within 3 business days after the claim was initiated.

I'm happy.
I've got my yrs premium back & a wole lot more.
