Well guys here's the deal:
I came home after a night on the town, went into the garage and poof! no NSR. sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! phone the cops, my phone cuts out. Phone them again, and nobody answers. Wait a second! I just removed the rust outta the tank so there's only about half a cup of fuel in ther. Eureka! I get on my jacket, take my camera, gloves and head off down the road on foot. It's cold but I'm angry and want my stuff back! Maybe, just maybe I'll find it around here somwhere. About 4 hours later on the edge of the local town slum area at around 3:30 AM I spot something thru some hedges. MY BIKE! I honestly didnt think I'd find it anyway but there it was, parked on some knob-head's driveway behind a trailer. It appears that no-ones home or everyone is asleep, so I open the rusty gate slowly (after "lubricating" the super squeky hinges with sap from some tree leaves) and enter. Luckily the bike was rather close to the gate so no problems getting it to public "saftey". The sight I saw when I actually got to my machine was terrible. They had crashed my moto.
It appears the bike went down on the right hand side since half the top fairing plus the mirror was gone. The bike seems to have also fallen on the other side as the exhaust end-can was being held-on by a zip-tie. What a mess. For some reason the bottom three pieces of fairing were lying inside the trailer, undamaged, somewhat scrached but not screwd. The fuel filler cap aslo had some of it's hex-bolts missing, (the lock in the filler opens without the key now) they got inside it seems. A quick check revealed that the speedo drive and cable were missing including my entire oil system. They also removed my golden o-ring chain. At this point I was really hoping the motor didnt sieze or anything (I discoverd later that it had'nt).
I walked outside the property and phoned a guy I know who dirves tow-trucks. While I was waiting for him to arrive I took some photos of the scene (flash off!) to aid a police report. There was a street lamp right outside this guy's house which illuminated everything I needed ok, the bike was in the shadows but I linked it all together with nifty photography.
Anyway, I pushed the bike out to the "rendezvouz" were the tow truck would pick it up and collected the rest of the panels. I eventually got back to the house at exactly 7:10AM. What a night, geez!
The following day I found that my battery was missing, one of the front calipers' brake pads, my entire air filtration assembly and spark plugs. One of the bolts that hold the rear caliper in place was also broken off and my powervalves were hooked up in some weird way (I have another post that details the findings of this particular inspection).
That was about a little more that two or so months ago, I've been trying to get everything back to working order and have been riding the machine on 30:1 premix. It fouls the bike up too much though as it sprays the back with black oil. I am also concernd about not having enough lubrication coming down our town's mountain hills on compression only.
Just as a side note, the cops investigated the place and found it to be full of stolen items like outboard marine engines, a paraglider, the above mentioned trailer was also stolen, two cars and a host of other smaller things. I didnt get any of the missing parts back, nor did insurance pay out, aparently I wasnt adequately covered or some trash.
So thats the story guys! Hope this never happens to you! And if it does I hope you'll have same same luck I had in actually finding your stuff!
OH yeah, It's an MC18 so the pump would be an "early" type I suppose.
