One for the good guys.....
I had my 2011 ec300e stolen on Christmas Day, whilst I was working and my wife was away at family celebrations. We had moved into our new home on 21/12...welcome to the hood! Supposedly a good suburb.
I loved the bike and had spent a lot of time getting it good for me...as you can imagine I was not happy. The saving grace was insurance and a new for old clause for under two years from purchase. Roll the drums...2013r.
On Thursday we got a call from the local police saying they had found my bike, so yesterday we went in and had a look at it, stickers removed, side stand broken off at frame, pipe bent hand guards gone etc etc. The policeman rode mx, has had a bike stolen in the past and is obviously interested in bikes.the officer saw the gg,thought to himself "nice bike" saw the new "owners" pushing the bike as fast as they can in the opposite direction, thought " those sort of people only get a bike like that one way" and thought he'd take a look, usual b s story and a VIN number check and they are busted, they forgot to fill up before riding it, suckers.
Being honest, I rang the insurer and said I had my bike back in possession, they said its not your bike, your bike is at the dealer as they have presented the cheque.... I argued for 5 seconds then said ok, I'll take the bike.
Leave your bike empty and have insurance and all will be fine
Cheering!!!

Of course, the setup is a hassle, but still fun.
All good Simmo
