Fair enough. The timing just seemed a bit too coincidental to me, being listed on Monday. I'll let you know if I find any other likely candidates.
BIKE BEEN FOUND IN MANFRED STREET WINDALE FROM ANOMINOUS TIP TO POLICE. HAS BROKEN IGNITION SWITCH AND WILL BE FINGERPRINTED TMR.WILL INSPECT AT HOLDING YARD IN MORNING.
been and inspected. could not touch as not fingerprinted yet. ignition barrel is smashed but could not check fuel cap as cover was on it.costs so far are 220 for towing fee to holding yard, quote for ignition lock wih matching fuel cap and seat lock is 312 , lost 100 on rego and to get new rego needs a blue slip and new number plate so another 100.then another 3rd party insurance. so am up for at least 700.undercover cop got it.just got a call to say finger printed so can pick up. BEAUTY.
was the bike insured? if so depending on your excess may be as well to lodge a claim, all towing costs ect will be covered.

There is a 2nd hand lock set in England on eBay for$60 plus delivery and a harness in Germany for $50 plus post , might not be to exy to gether back on the road ? Chris
kiffsta,cannot find looking at ebay uk. could you give me ebay numbers of lock set as your ability is better than mine.
Sorry to hear this, Risky. I hope the a**hole is caught and your Hornet returned to you unscathed. I have nothing but contempt and curses for thieves!!
Well the good news is you got it back. Get yourself a GPS tracker. I bought one for $20 and I am sure you could get a better quality unit, but even a cheap one has to be better than nothing.
ordered a lock set from china to get me out of trouble. wemoto had one but the price difference was orrible.china-56 bucks-wemoto 400.plus freight.
I'm feeling your pain here risky, my bike was stolen last sunday, luckily got it back off the junkies that claim to have "found it". But unfortunately the ignition was cut and the very front end (headlights, tacho) has taken a dip in a shallow creek, going to be a big job for me as I've tryed to start it with another ignition and got no power at all!
that's crap Anthony, if you need parts, let me know, I have just stripped an MC22, also @XCite Bikes has MC22 lock sets with matching tank locks here : http://xcitebikes.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=1_1002_100215&product_id=539
