My cousins fiance was trying to sell his 06 Fireblade. The guy who took it for a test ride last week never came back! I'll post up some pictures later today once I get them off my cousin. Some real scum out there

[Kelpie]

Awful! Get pics and details up as soon as you can.

Like kelpie says, post up pics as soon as possible. Hope that scummer gets what he deserves.

[bikerdar]

that sucks sorry to here that

[MikeyBikey]

Presume he has reported it to the Cops.

Did he get a wad of cash off him before letting him near it

[Kelpie]

It wasn't in Repsol colours by any chance was it? Cos I saw what I though was a Repsol blade (possibly CBR600 though) being ridden like it was stolen. <_<

Sorry to hear that
let it be a lesson to everyone
A lad tried it with my motocrosser
Luckily I rumbled him
put him up on the back (with no footpegs)
hard as I could go across the field
he jumped off and ran away cursing me

Awful news....lets hope it's recovered asap ....the fcukers

He rang the cops alright, told them he had the guys mobile and could they do a triangulation on the mobile. The Garda told him he had been watching too many movies. When he replied that his mate in the ERU said they could do it, he was told it would take too long to do a triangulation. Apparently it is too much trouble to catch criminals? Basically they were worse than useless.

As someone who works in IT I have to say the Gardai should have some system in place to get something like that done as soon as possible and as easily as possible. It is just something a computer does. The guys in the NOC (network operations center) for Vodafone or meteor or whoever can do a triangulation with a few mouse clicks.

Got some details as well, I'll just copy and paste what he emailed me:
It has a black db screen, Yoshimura RS5 can, crash mushrooms, front mudguard slightly cracked on right hand side and head fairing cracked beside mirror bracket on right hand side. Engine casing on right hand side resprayed matt black. Small scratch on front brake lever and back foot peg right side.

Frong tyre is Pirelli, and back is Dunlop.



This obviously isn't his bike, but his was the exact same colour scheme, with the alteration above. Thanks!

I hope your mate gets the bike back Oisin.
As for the YOBs that stole it, may they die roaring.

The lesson might be don't let your friend bring the bike to potential buyer meeting when you are in work. Lesson for friend might be that just because the guy hands you the keys to an ancient Honda Civic with a Garda keyring on it doesn't mean he really has a brother in the Gardai or that he is trust worthy!! *sigh* I don't know who I feel sorrier for, my cousins fiance or his friend who brought the bike for this scum bag to see

They met at Dagwells pub near Prosperous in Kildare. Don't know if that information will help!

[JAMIE]

did you try a few of the websites that sell private bikes as he may try and sell it,eg: donedeal.ie, bikebuyersguide.ie!

[Oisin]

Thanks for all the advise and help! He has started keeping an eye on the private ads.
