Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have been away for a bit and very busy. The latest news on the Hawk is some numb-nuts tried to steal my baby early one Monday morning during a rainstorm. I thought I heard it startup around 4:30 AM but I told myself it was my imagination and went back to sleep. I was living in an Apt and the SH was under the lighted & covered parking 50 foot from my bedroom window. I sleep with a box fan on high to drown out the gang-sta- rap music that my new residents from New Orleans like to play so loud in their cars late at night. I was leaving for work Monday and noticed my cover was off…what the F#@! I looked closely and could see the cut ignition wires and some damage to the ignition keyhole, but this is how dumb this Numb-Nuts was: The hawk was covered (Nelson-Rigs) Locked with a disk-lock (un-cut-able-nearly un-pick-able) did not check for a disk lock and did not even break the steering lock. Where was Mr. Numb-Nuts going when he did get it started? That’s what pisses me off more than anything, is the un-professionalism of this would be, messy and stupid bike thief. If the numb-nuts had stolen the bike I would have made about $2,000 of the insurance and could have found another Super Hawk.

After slicing the three wires together and heat-shrinking them, replacing the blown 30A main fuse (Thanks Honda Engineers) I was back on the road again. No thanks, to Mr. Numb-Nuts would be, bike thief (don’t quit your day job!) Oh yeah, the bastard did manage to steal my cheap-*** FM radio that was Velcro-ed to the triple clams. That diabolical, evil, master thief Bastard!!!!

Two weeks later I moved into a house with a garage and no gang-sta- rap music, thus far.

 

Is there no pride in ones work these days?

 

you wish you could catch people like this in the act sometimes! glad they didn't make away with it though. enjoy new house and garage!

 

Glad they didn't do TOO much damage as the bastard could have put a fist into the tank or some such as he ran off.

Back in my youth, I too had an attempted bike theft in an apartment parking lot. He did the same damage to mine as yours and didn't see the extra locks.

A few weeks later our car was broken into with a rock and the cd player was stolen. CD's had just come out. Anyway, they pulled a print off the exterior (doesn't mean **** legally) and later caught a kid living across the street. He admitted to my car and many others in the complex.

I found a small rent house with a one car garage for only $50 more a month and promptly moved out.

Your amatuer jerk-off may be close by.

 

I hate those douchbags.

 

I had my first bike stolen: it was a 1986 Honda Hurricane and I came out of my apt about 1 hour later, helmet on, jacket on, ready to go kick some ***. Turns out someone had already kicked my ***. I'm guessing it was picked up into a truck and chopped, because police told me about 40-50 bikes had been taken from that neighborhood in the last 2 years.

"God damn the bike thief, and may we all be so lucky as to catch the next one in the act."
