I just had a very close call. Last week someone broke into my house to steal my 250r while I was at work. Lucky for me the garage door got jammed. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost my bike. Now I taking percations and it won't happen again.

A word of warning, there are a bunch of low lifes out there, I just wish I would have caught them in the act.

When i was in fifth grade, i had my honda 200 type 2 stolen. We were at home, and they lifted up the garage door that night and rolled it out.

That's why you get a dog. I got a big pitbull and no one would think to steal any of my bikes if they saw him.

Doncha just know how easy quads are to come by? I mean they simply fly off the shelves to any one with a couple hundred bux. Oh Ohhh Here's one, "Whatcha mean they list the horsepower on the title I wanna know what my-cough- quad has!" OR "What the h3ll you talking about a title they don't do those on quads around here" OR "I don't have my quad registered cause it costs 5 bux (what a pile of BIG BS)"

I have actually had folks argue that they have legitimate quads with no title ON THIS FORUM, beware they're out HERE. There is a legitimate certificate of origin for every thing that floats, flys, rolls, rambles or rumbles sold in the US in the last fourty years, and someone paid for it, with it's certificate of origin, which is usually exchanged for a title in most states, then titles transfered with vehicles.

You know as furiuos as the folks "that pay" get I'd think we could support a network where you have to have to report the VIN# for parts being ordered. This system could have many malicious outcomes for thieves wanting to get quads operational.

People usually don't steal what they haven't seen. I have always kept my ATV in a storage shed behind my house where it is out of view from anyone on the street. It is also never ridden anywhere near my home so that few people even know I have it.

An ATV that can be seen by all those who pass by is just temptation waiting to happen.

I also keep mine locked in a shed in my back yard. If someone wants it they have to beat off my "everybodies a friend" beagle and my wifes poodle. Hey wait a minute, anybody got one of them pit bulls for sale?
