I don't post here often, though I have a bought a few things from a few members, and I troll a little.

Wanted to let everyone know that my 04 XB12R was stolen Friday October 24th. It's black with a lot of carbon fiber, front fairing, air box cover, upper and lower belt guards, rear hugger, rear heal plates. Black rims and windsheild.

Thank you.

That sucks the big one.

If I had to guess, it is just old enough that you didn't have comprehensive coverage on your insurance. I hope you did though.

Sorry to hear it.

I left the house friday night at 6 pm to go out with my girlfriend. Came home Saturday at 2 pm and it was gone. Forks where locked, but that is it. Rotor lock/alarm was on order.

Yes, I had liability only on it.

Been watching the bay etc.

Here's the best pic I have. Added Carbon fiber front fairing and airbox cover since.

+1 Frinzo. But when it comes down to it, it will sell. It sucks to hear for sure and I hope you find it in one piece.

I'm a firefighter in my town. Yea, like you all didn't guess that. So anyway, I knew the cop taking the report. He asked me if I had a suspect in mine. I looked at him and said "if I had a suspect I'd be in Mayes county and you'd be doing a homicide report instead of grand theft auto"

I hate to say it, but even a buell will get stolen if you leave it outside for that amount of time. I'd park it in my house if I didn't have a secure workshop. At work I park it out back where very few people can see it. I have an onguard rottweiler 25mm cable lock on order myself. It should be here by Monday and i'll feel a lot better once it's locked to something.

Check out how long it takes to steel a sport bike.

I'm thinking of ordering one of the big ass chains for when it's at home. The door to my shop isn't that secure.

I own a trailer house. Needless to say, getting the bike up the stairs would be difficult. I actually have a storage building I got from Lowes to put the bike in. 10x14, it however, didn't come complete. Lowes did finally get me the second box, but, I'm in the National Guard, and I got called up to go to Ft. Bliss Texas for a month. I got back a couple days before the bike was stolen, and hadn't had time to put up the building. I had a disk brake rotor lock with a built in alarm on order from Cycle Gear. It just hadn't came in yet.

My house is up off the ground as well, but i'd build a ramp before I'd leave it sit outside. The disk lock is useless against 2 guys with a minivan!

I hope you get it back. I know i'd be sick if someone stole my bike, because I have liability as well.

You didn't read that right Moose, the disk lock has a built in alarm, you move the bike and the Alarm goes off. Yea, I read the post about a Buell fighting in a Caravan.
