Fixed that for you.

I managed to muscle the track bike's engine back in. my brother wants to buy it from me and have it as his road bike...

 

Keep dreaming. Yamaha is fucking up by not making one of those.

 

Love my S, would love to find an SM setup for cheap. But they remain elusive...

 

Holy shit. This was my bike.

"The investigation into the stolen motorcycle, which was reported missing out of Virginia, continues. It is unknown who stole it or how it came into Christie's possession, Wilkins reported."

Really?

He fucking stole it, or bought it knowing it was stolen.

The VIN being scratched off is normally a small red flag to most prospective "buyers".


That's wild man. I stand by my karma post I made on FB.

 

probably the motherfucker in question:

the name, age, and location are correct.

 

So, yeah.. Went out this morning to further inspect before calling in a truck. Seems that the studs weren't broken off (in my defense, the bike was still hot last night when the discovery was made). Soo, for now, I'm just going to replace the nuts and thats that. I still blame the dealer, as they put the exhaust back on after the first service.

Opinion time... Stock has 8mm Acorn nuts. Should I get more of those, or can I just switch to a regular nut/lock washer with some loctite to prevent this from happening again?

 

I wonder if I should send him a friend request....

 

^ Will the cops/insurance give you your bike back? I'm serious, send me your left overs after the motor. I've got places for them to go...

 

it technically belongs to the insurance company now i'd guess.
