Isn't this someone's stolen bike here?

I have been out of the loop for a while, but I thought I remember someone posting that their Telefonica TLR bike was stolen this spring out in California. Maybe not, but I thought who ever it was might like to see this. Here is the link.

Man, it sucks to see a nice bike like that in that bad of shape.

i hope he gets caught if that was the guys bike. i know what you are talking about, i just cant put a name with the bike....

[TLR67]

I remember the thread as well. It looks like he picked it up the honest way though.... NO RESERVE.... Track Bike? I'll check the amount in 6 days.. Not worth over $2500 now unless you live in San Fran.. and dont have to pay the $300 to get it to you.

Already out looking for a new bike eh?

[Tonyd]

HMMMM, could be. Wrecked and never claimed?

[luttersj]

I was the high bidder on that one for a while at $10.50. Damn, I was really hoping I'd get it for that price!!

[rzarobbie]

any bike for 10.50.. what a great deal..

i remember when the stolen bike report came out too. the guy lived some where close to me . i'm not sure what ever happened to it. i'll post it on the local forum around here www.bayarearidersforum.com.

Wasn't it pinched pre Planet days?

I get confused with the Telefonica bike and the guy who had his tank signed by steve crevier, was that stolen too?

:dunno

Maybe a "Stolen Bikes" forum? Or do we have enough?

Bargain with a Penske.

Now if I just had my CAMS licence I could import that thing for track use. Bugger.

The member in question (I can't remember his name either) reported that bike stolen about 4 months back. It was a sad story because all he had was liability, no comprehensive coverage. I am quite sure that is the bike though.

[Miles B]

If it is, then no way I would buy it. No way in hell.

Looking closer at the images on eBay... I dunno I thought I remembered that guy's bike a little different...

I emailed the guy. Both are in California, but VINs don't match.. I dunno.. how many Telefonica TLRs are out there?

Here's another from the Ally Pally in the UK

Ahh screw it. Who would crash their bike and not claim it? Gotta be stolen. No way I'm touching it.

[Davcruz]

That's the guy, David Leavitt. I should have remembered him, he bought a set of tube covers just before it was stolen. Anyway, he says it was stock except for the pipes and since the eBay one has a Penske I guess it is not his.

[Corey00TLS]

Oh, I just remember seeing the thread about the stolen Telefonica TLR, not any modifications he had done to it. I was looking for a salvage bike on E-Bay for a local guy who wants to start stunting on and happened to run across this one. Yea, I have kind of caught myself looking at bikes already. Not much else to do when you're home all day, every day and you can't drive or lift anything.
