Well I'm sorry Dan but if you think this means you're allowed to leave Chinariders you're wrong, you'll just have to steal it back
In all seriousness I hope this doesn't inconvenience you badly; look at it another way, it could have been your Viffer. I'm sure your CB adventures are not over. |

Sounds like it was jacked by a bunch of worthless dope heads. I hope for a full recovery of the bike unmolested.

My bike is the 6th one stolen from the lot in the last few years I guess, but the first one done so boldly. They had a plan to steal it, so I am pretty sure somebody that works at my company was involved somehow. I am also pretty sure the security guard on duty is about as competent as a rock. He was at the front desk the whole time. It was an awful lot of effort for a cheap ass chinese bike.

That was a lot of effort and people! Maybe it was a covert operation from spies of Honda America to steel back patent information to make something comparable to sell against the CB Revolution??
You'll get it back. Freaking tweeker dirtbags everywhere.

Basically, this screwed me pretty good. I was using my Hawk to commute because my Jeep needs some serious attention in order to be safe on the road. Having to drive it to work is a complete gamble, but I have no choice. I am also now nervous to park my VFR at work for obvious reasons, at least until I can afford some sort of extra security for it. I am not holding out much hope of getting my bike back, or if I do it will be a total wreck that isn't worth saving. I have had a few people offer to send me assistance, so I decided to setup a go fund me account. This isn't something I normally do, but at this point I don't know what else to do. I don't expect anything from anybody, so don't feel some sense of obligation to help. This is the link to it if anybody does wish to try and help out. https://www.gofundme.com/newhawk250 If I do somehow end up with enough money from that to get a new one and my old bike is recovered, I will gladly part it out to help other members here, motor and all, for basically free.

I installed a cheap Alarm I got from Amazon. Not that that will keep them from stealing it but may make them move on to an easier target. I've been thinking about how I could hook up something that will shock the crap out of them if the alarm goes off. As I stated earlier I had major problems with theft or attempted theft in the past. I borrowed one those shocking devises for an electric fence from work and hooked up to my car. 1st night I hooked it up the motion sensor set off the buzzer I had by my bed and the next thing I hear is some guy screaming. Never had anymore problems with them fooling with the car again.

I am looking at a security chain and lock now before I will even consider parking my VFR at work. The problem is, the good ones aren't cheap! There is a post anchored into the ground that I can secure it to. Still might not stop them if they really want it, but it will at least stop them from simply tossing it into a truck. That combined with an alarmed disc lock would hopefully be enough of a deterrant. Problem is having the money to get them now. Like I said, this screwed me pretty good.

Man that sucks. Don't know why they don't come with alarms most little crappy scooters do. Weird I was watching YouTube vids and one dude was talking about 4 Hawks stolen on his area. 2017 video I think. Maybe they're parting them?

Well, if I do manage to get another Hawk anytime soon, that will be something installed during assembly. I don't care about the remote start, but the noise making aspect would be nice, and that is very cheap. I might just put one on my VFR with the most basic wiring possible. I still want to get a good security chain and lock in either case.

I am getting a disc brake lock after hearing this. Megadan, I am so sorry to hear this. I'm a karma guy. Those people have nothing to look forward to. Scum of the earth.
