I don't believe it's a joke. He seemed so genuinly angry.

If it's true, then it's not only Dino who has been robbed.

All the readers here and especially all the viewers on youtube are equally robbed.

We feel your pain and anger just as much as you do Dino.

Dino devastated to hear of the theft. Your work has been of immense value to the members.

I trust the cops catch the thief and you get you bike back.

It's made me think asI work with the garage door open and everyone goes past and has a look into what I'm doing.

Mick in Sydney.

The emotions after being robbed are terrible. I have experienced them first hand. You have my sympathy and condolences Dino.
 This is why I chain all my bikes while they are in the garage. My wife and kids think I am nuts but I don't give a sh!t.....I'll do everything I can to prevent that sick feeling from occurring again.
 I know I ported that head....it should have engraving on the underside of the bottom fin.
Stealing a bike that old is odd. Please it wasn't finished cosmetically. I'd say somebody wanted the parts.

I knew it, he spent too much time talking about ringing the police, instead of doing it, and thought it was more important to do a video first, didn't make sense to me, I would have been on the phone as soon as I saw the bike gone....Not to mention, Its the 1st of April...

I have to say I was really upset about all of this, for you, for me, and for the community.

But mostly for me because I really need to sync my carbs and I'm waiting for your video  ;D

Good one! Thought it was kinda strange that they grabbed the remaining hardware off the work bench. Unless it was some impatient/disgruntled viewer who couldn't wait any longer and wanted to finished it themselves. Cheers Dino!
