Default Ahhhhhhh....

Ok I know this has nothing to do with the IS but up here in canada its starting to get really cold.
So I decided to go for one last ride of the season while it was still sunny. I get my jacket, put on my helmet and go out to warm up the bike....only to notice that its not there. My heart starts beating and I second guess asking myself if I had put it away for the winter already. Nope. My ******n bike got JACKED. Sucks. Btw It was a 2004 Suzuki gsx-r 600. Picture can be found at http://bikepics.com/members/kfourgixsix/
Thanks for hearing me out.

I give you my symphathy also. ...and welcome to CL. I see you are a very new poster.

Was it insured so if you don't get it back you will at least get a check for it? That will help you get a new....or used one.

Thanks guys, the bike is insured and it definately wont turn up. Its probably in pieces all over the world buy now. I guess I can look at it on the bright side..... A new 2006 suzuki gsx-r 750! But it still hurt to see my baby go. It was my first bike. Thieves are ruthless.

Damn! What a loss!

I know it feels crappy to lose your baby. I don't know if you did any mods to it, but no matter. I believe that you have more of a driving connection with a bike rather than a car. It knows the true meaning of "hitting the road"; no car or exotic can substitute that sensation.

Good luck with finding another bike. You get to enjoy the fun of finding a new toy! (And you'll get great discounts now that it's winter...)

Thanks! But yes it is true that driving a car will never ever and I mean never compare to riding a bike. Its funny because I heard that the is350 is a really fast car but when i test drove it it felt really slow to me. This being that im a rider and i have hit 304km/hr in no time at all. Not with my gsx-r but with my buddies Hayabusa. Once you get on a bike I dont think you'll ever turn back. Its a great thrill and its what i love to do. The open air experience and being one on one with the road its the best experience anyone can get. Im a rydah for LIFE.

that sucks. People are not honest nowadays! I don't know who you can trust!

You should report the theft to the cops ASAP!
