Man, you would think they'd have LoJack on something like a trailer with mucho $$$ worth of bikes...

[akira700]

I know that's alot of loot to make off with.

Not going to be as easy to peddle this stuff off as is would be for regular street machines given that the racing community is smaller.

But I guess with the decals off and spray painted black they could sell pretty fast. No VIN checks with race bikes right?

wow. huge score for the bad guys...

They do have vin numbers, but most people don't record them. This represents like 10 percent of the USGPRU field and includes one of the series leader's bikes...A works Aprilia 125... Ouch. Selling that will be tough though. No one who knows what it is will be unaware of this bike... Nevermind getting parts for it. All suppliers are also aware...

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say a racer stole it. Either that, or someone sore at them.

[Paul_E_D]

Recovered!!!

[NinjaSwan]

Any details??

[Paul_E_D]

No, just that the trailer with bikes and all the gear was recovered. Van still MIA.
