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.
