An hour ago my dear "locomotive" was stolen, left the keys on visiting a neighbor and I heard it start and disappear, for ever I guess... RIP my companion!!!  |

Truly sorry to hear this awful news. I feel your pain.
As for the thieving b*$tard that stole your bike, I have
put a curse on them, free of charge.
Seriously though, I hope it is recovered soon.

Thank you all mates, i mostly blame myself. Stupid to leave the keys on... I am not expecting it back, police here in Sweden are not effective at all (no resources), especially on small crimes...
My youngest daughter taking me to Greece for a couple of weeks (boring flight) and there I'll recharge for a new build. With immobilizer.
Again, thank you all!

Sorry to hear it. People can be turds. Judging by the pic, you had a lot of keys on that keyring. Not trying to worry you, but if it's registered and any of my info were under there, I wouldn't be thrilled about a thief having my house keys.
Maybe the next scoot can be a 2T with a pod filter, loud pipe, a manual choke carb and a fuel shutoff valve. You'll have at least a few minutes of would-be thieves cursing the scoot and trying to figure out why it won't start. If it does start, there will be a trail of noise and smoke to follow.

Keys sort of fixed, ordered to change locks on two apartments already, not allowed to do that myself here in Sweden, the owner must do it, takes time and expensive...  There was also the keys to my 50cc scooter on there, that one is locked with a chain in the vicinity and I have not any other keys to it so I instead removed the "goodies" on it in case they steal that one too. And took the air out off the tires... I bought THIS today and getting it home tomorrow. Tuesday I´m off to Greece for two week... Planning...  |
