Alright.
Today I fired up my 75 cb550k for the first time this year. It hadn't rode it since last October when some jerk neighborhood kid stole it from my house parked in the alley. I havent taken any pictures yet, but i'll try to get em on here soon in a thread on the project board.
The bike wasnt locked to anything and the fork lock cylinder is rusted out . . . gotta get a new one.
The morning of October 3rd I went out back to run the bike and to my disbelief, it was gone. I called the police.
About a month and a half later, after I had given up hope of seeing it again, I get a phone call . . . It's the impound lot.
Now I've had to pay the $130 to get an '89 buick lesabre out of impound, and I would have rather left it there for those bastards to deal with, but they charged daily for storage. a terrible ordeal that left me salty towards the impound lot. However when I got that call I had to do the chicken dance, I was happy to get it back.
Some kid was arrested pushing it down the sidewalk at 3 AM that morning. Since It was a minor, they wouldn't give me a police report. I still have no good idea who dunnit, but it was recovered 14 blocks from my house. damn.
When I got to the impound, my heart sank. Mirrors gone, exhaust bent, lic plate broken off homemade lower shock mounted lic plate bracket, but wired onto the frame (horribly mangled), battery dead, right sidecover gone, front brake lever broken, the wire connector the ignition plugs into was compromised by stuffing pennies between the terminals to cross the circuits. had to work the terminals back into shape with a needlenosed pliers . . . dirty oil . . .
