Well, I at least need new bars..new clutch lever(GONE, broken off)...and gonna go from there in the morning... Dont knwo why I posted this...but... There was 5 bikes in my complex vandalised.....no prints.... I am probably gopnna be thrown outta here, as my biek is now on my patio... FWIW, worth, i park BOTH trucks, under a light, with teh bike in bewteen...my truck was broken into a week ago.... Okay, taking my self to sleep...too pi**ed to to think right now...still...

sorry to hear it, good luck you got it back though, could be worse...all you can hope for is one day, they will get theirs...  now you got to fix it bigger and better, and put a video cam on it where you park... | ||
| Essthreetee |
I don't understand why people can't leave stuff that isn't their's ALONE!!!!!! That freakin SUCKS!!!! Sorry to hear that Chase. | ||
| Diablobrian |
It's a fundamental lack of respect for anyone else that leads to this kind of B.S. I'm glad you were able to get your bike back. It could have been worse. Sounds like you have either just one, or more likely a pack of punk kids running around your neighborhood looking for trouble. I'd keep my eyes open...they usually hang in the same areas. This kind of crap is one of the reasons i moved back from San Diego to small town Missouri. Here grafitti is a front page crime, and someone always sees who did what! I'd rather sweat than bleed, wouldn't you? White is definitely the FASTEST color Buell. | ||

Well, there have been alot of issues, in teh complex lately, adn the managment, all they say, is park under/ in the light... Well, both times somethign has happened to MY stuff, you couldnt park in a mroe well lit place.. My bike WILL be parked on my front stoop, period. If the management, continues to has issue with it... It says clearly in teh lease, NOT to park bikes, on our patios, or frotn walk...but, I dont really have much choice now... I am greatfully none of the carbon fiber took any damage...THIS time... So, this is somethign I dont have an issue losing a lease over... I there isnt much I can do about it now...but that is beside the point... Its not like I even had the money to fix the problem I am currently having...NOW, I gotta buy NEW bars again, and aquire a new clutch lever... Chase | ||

Chase I have a set of TT bars that I'll never use- they're your if'n you want them. I know you ride aggressively, and the angle they give would be similar to clip ons...  | ||
| Cochise |
I also have some shift levers, if the shifter's are the same part on the XB's as on the X1's Just email me your address again and I'll ship em to you for free. www.americanthunderbike.org | ||
| Jon |
Chasespeed, Once you get the inventory of what you need, post it here. You guys who have offered to ship extra parts to him are "A plus". | ||
| Bartimus |
Get an alarm, at least it will wake you up when they take it off the kickstand, and let you catch them in the act... | ||
| Chasespeed |
Well, the parking lot is about 40 yards from my front door...but I was think about the alarm thing last night... Andrew, those are definately interesting looking...kinda like cafe bars... Joe, I dont need anythign from the shift linkage...just the clutch lever.. SO, on that note, Andrew, I will send you a PM... Thank you all...this was just an easy way for me to rant, instead of taking it out on SOMEONE....

So, would you like my lever, and by that you're talking about the lever on the handlebars? If so, I can place it in the mail tomorrow at no charge to you. (Message edited by cochise on May 29, 2006) www.americanthunderbike.org | ||
| Chasespeed |
Joe, yeah, I will give it a try...I remember something about the levers being similar, BUT, there was a small difference...BUT, I think that was in the brake lever... I will forward my new address, as the one you have, ISNT the same.. If it doesnt work, I will send it back to ya... I mean, shouldnt cost much to ship a clutch lever..(and yeah, the one on the bars...) PM on the way Chase Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||
| Ulywife |
Chasespeed - sorry to hear about your bike. I've never understood what people get out of vandalism. I hope they catch whoever did this. Mean people suck. | ||
| Chasespeed |
Well, they werent able to get any prints... the DA wont accept any prints from teh outside of a vehicle, or off a motorcycle, as, anyone could touch it, bump it, lean against, it..etc So..for now, just keeping the bike at the front door, the h*ll with the managment.. they wont pay for my stuff.... So... Again, thank you all, that are lending a hand... It all comes back.. I am sending Grant(TSIspyder) some parts for his bike in Japan, to help get him back on the road... And hooking Prez up with his problem as well.. Thats one reason why I love this community..everyone is willing to help us young, broke guys stay on the road... Thank you all.... Oh, adn the wife appreciates all the help too, as it isnt making us even more broke trying to keep the money pit on the road... Hmmm, thought of a new paint scheme, if I ever put plasitc bakc on in place of the carbon fiber... Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||

Chase: I saw a couple of alarms on e-bay a while back if one comes up would you use one like that? I came out from my office late one nite, a bunch of shti head punks had torn up the steering collumn on my car. I guess I spooked em as near as I could tell I know that it sucks bro keep the sled on the porch, if the LL starts handing you crap, ask them if they will be responcible for damages if not it stays where it is,( or They can break the lease [ loss of revinue ] I keep mine chained in the court yard in front of my door give them the option, the bike stays where its safe or I leave, when Im on the road like now its in the kitchen, | ||
| Chasespeed |
Dog, yeah, I am going straight to NavyLegal tomorrow, and tlak to them, WITH my lease, and BOTH police reports... Going to tlak to them, about my options..and see what they say, i am going to look on here later, for houses for rent, WITH A GARAGE, after Mia heads to work... The only place I can chain the bike to, is the light pole, where I kept the bike AND my truck parked..but, all that would do, is p*ss them off more, and they would SMASH the thing next time... So... But yeah, the LL is going to be hearing from me about 3 or 4 pm local time, hopefully armed with a Jag Officer  Chase Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||

Thanks for your service to the country, It sucks that you have to deal with this What a shoddy way to take care of our service personel, I hope that the Jagg officers will get larry the landlords attention, sounds like hes got a bad case of dilligaf some folks are a little short sighted If you can swing it a house would be the ticket Good Luck and keep us posted.. Go Get Em! | ||
| Chasespeed |
Go Get Em! I have every intent... My LL, Sandy, SHE seems to have an issue with me in general...(I hang out with my maintnance guy here, and was thus informed)..The will provide signed statements... I HATE to deal with this like this, but I haev had nothing but problems with her since the signing of the lease..plus, she gives my wife LOTS of grief... Anyway But, for the alarm, I am looking for something that will active teh horn AND make the lights flash..and once I get around to accent ligths...it shoudl attract ALOT of attention if set of... } Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||
| Oldog |
Chase: she own the property or just manage if the latter, mebe have the jagg contact the owners directly, unless your trashing the place what she is doing may not fly good luck either way, it sucks that you have to deal with this | ||

If you for some screwed up reason you can't keep the bike on the patio, have you thought about parking a van & using it as a mini garage for the bike? I saw a guy do that here in Nor Cal. He didn't have a garage so he stripped out his old van, got a ramp & kept his bike in it. On edit: He pulled the coil wire & drained the gas tank so it couldn't be stolen.

If you for some screwed up reason you can't keep the bike on the patio, have you thought about parking a van & using it as a mini garage for the bike? I have thought about the van route for a while, as I usually live in an apartment(dont make much money in teh navy).. But, again, that takes money...it has to be legal adn road worthy, as you need valid tags, inspection, and insurance on the complex properties here...period. But, at the rate they are breaking into vehciles here, it wouldnt make a difference.. Dog, she is just a manager, and no, I amnot tearing anything up. I have even soken with the neighbors, they dont care, I push the bike all the way up the walk, so, as far as they are concerned, as long as they dont hear it... Its mostly hidden from veiw anyway. It aitn even leaking at the moment.. I am going to let JAG deal with this one, BUT, the office IS going to get a heads So, tomorrow shoul dbe interesting to say the least. Trin has to go to the Doc's tomorrow, I am HOPING she just has heat rash(my a/c here dont work worth the crap either, as my 200+ dollar light bill will atest to), and not chicken pox..if it isnt one thing, its another.. Oh well...another day tomorrow... though I coudl really use a change of luck..hahaha..} Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||

"it has to be legal adn road worthy, as you need valid tags, inspection, and insurance on the complex properties here...period." Oh man, that sucks. Here I was thinking a cheap ugly Van that some one's just dying to get off their hands. Something that could be registered & insured but nothing that would ever need to be driven long distance. I hope all goes well tomorrow. I'll be sending all the good vibes I can your way. This is the earliest I've ever been late! | ||

I just need to hit the lottery... Buya huge plot of land, build a race track...and build a house for my self inthe infeild But seriously, this isnt something just I have to deal with, its just the nature of the beast... Though, i will say this, I am not one to stand aside, and take a bunch of crap from some property company.. They WILL yeild, or lose revenue as Dog said, as I am sure, that the navy will assist me in breaking a lease if needed, without repercussions.. just need to worry about aquiring a house...

Chase Find a house sounds like a change of address is needed. The right thing is not always the easy thing, but its always the best thing, From the porch the Ol Dog | ||

Dealt with some pissy property managers in the past. It is a mind numbing thing to go through. Had to deal with it when the M2 was stolen in detroit. Property managers were completely useless following that. On the gas till you see god, then BRAKE! | ||

Well, they are gonna let me keep the bike on teh patio.... But, I cant hget it on the patio... Ok, they are moving the gate..to allwo me access to the patio. They are also gonna let me put up a piece of canvas or something as an awning..keep my dry when trying to smoke, adn he;lp further conceal the bike... So, everyone one wins... Though, I am still without a bike for the moment. Chase Chase F*ck'em if they can't take a joke. | ||

Chase - glad they are working with you to make the best of a bad situation. With the offer of parts you should be up and riding pretty soon. BadWeb folks are the best! | ||
| Metalstorm |
YESSSSS!!! I'm glad to hear they decided to do the right thing. And an awning to boot. Sweet. I hope you're not without a bike for much longer. This is the earliest I've ever been late! | ||
| Chasespeed |
NOw, if I can find the exhuast stud tool from Jims, either locally(best), and someone here(better), I will be up and running as soon as everything comes in... Or...I haev to remove the bloody head, and have it done on a mill(NOT GOOD)... I have beenover a week without the bike as it is...and I am not content..I NEED STRESS RELIEF.... Thanks all...

I'm sure someone has one you can borrow. Start a thread asking to borrow it. (on edit: oops you already did that!) What else do you need to get it back together? or is all that already covered? Also, I'm glad they are making it possible to keep the bike on your patio and helping with the awning. Sounds like they are afraid of you riders getting together and making trouble for them.
