Cahdbiker, imagine you come out of the gym exhausted but happy you had a great workout, you're thinking about hopping on your bike and have nice ride home, and you look up in disbelief, and a sickening feeling comes over you. You feel like a sucker that has been set up, all the way. I'm very upset about this and would love to exact some street justice. I'm sure the insurance company isn't too happy about cutting a check for over three grand either.
Really, I would love to have my bags back, IPOD, and personal belongs, but I realize the idiot thieves are probably going to paint over the beautiful custom color to easy to sell, black lacquer. It's a shame, but at least a lot of bikers will be more on top of their motorcycle security.
When I got my bike tuned I met a guy who had his Road Glide stolen along with two others out at local race course, and he really loved his bike, which he spent countless hours customizing. So in some regard, I'm lucky and I hope you guys are luckier still!
