The crimianls thought my Agility 125 was a cheap Chinese 50cc bike

Guys:

My bike was stolen, but I found the bike around 300 feet away from parking spot in my condo complex. The dumbass criminals thought my bike was one of those cheap 50cc Chinese bikes everyone rides here in Vegas. They even tried to remove the Nevada license plate on it and could not do it.  They needed the parts more than I did. They took my right mirror, broke the top part of the fender, and messed with the battery and ignition system. I already checked online and saw a new fender runs for $54.00 in change. I went over to Cycle Gear and brought a new motorcycle cover for $15 in change.

Tuesday I am taking over to Vegas Motor Sports and having Chris the mechanic look at her. I hope the theives did not do too much damage to it. I know the bike is still under warranty. I just hope this covers the damage. I guess to get the bike up and running again with labor and parts will be between $200-$300.

Sorry to hear they forked with you and the scoot. Sucks putting her back together and waiting to see if they strike again, any cameras in the parking area?

Thats really crappy and glad that you got it back! Hope its a cheap fix!

Sorry to hear that!.. A cover is a good theft deterrent... I always cover my scoot when parked... except in malls.

When I lived at an apartment complex I used a cover and a Xena Disk Lock Alarm. I can't understate the value of one, the inability to roll it plus a 120db alarm going off would deter most thieves.

Damn that sucks... What scumbags. Definitely be more aware.. I know Vegas is quite the hotbed for criminal activity at time.s

There are no cameras in my complex. A few of my neighbors saw the two teenagers who did it. They just thought it was one of those cheap Chinese 50ccs everyone rides in Vegas. I know if they knew it was my bike I would have confronted the criminals. Since they so badly wanted the bike I would have asked them for 3k and to see a driver license.  My friend has this big metal chain lock that he sold me. I should have purchased this from him awhile ago.

My friend is gonna fix my bike. He has worked on bikes all his life. So far it has cost me $90 with shipping for new parts for it. Today I added theft and fire protection to my bike. Well at least I have the cage I can use. This is more for recreational use.

Sorry this happened . I have a cable lock for the times it's parked for more than a few minutes. The truth is if they want it they'll take it. I'm glad there are more nice people in this world than jerks. Good luck with the repairs.

I use a chain also. I have the chain wrapped around floor boards and chained a back porch at apartment. Get a bicycle tube cut it in half an tread chain through the tube so the chain dosent chip paint.

That stinks. I'm glad I live in an area were crime is so low. You'll be up & running again. If you have insurance (which I'm sure you do) The Kymco warranty will not cover theft. I have a $500.00 deductible, so I think either way it's coming out for you pocket. I would recommend buying some sort of scooter/wheel lock in the future. Good Luck.

Well guys,
My friend was able to get my bike started again. The criminals really messed up the crank shift. My friend fixed this.  I purchased this big ass chain lock from my friend for $80.00. I know if one wants to steal something they will. This is just part of reality. I am probably gonna need to purchase a ignition switch at some point. My friend is doing the whole thing for 50 bucks in change plus me buying a good pizza pie from Cugino's Italian Deli and Pizzeria. The pie is worth it since this is some of the best New York pizza in all of Vegas. The family is Staten Island and of course the pizza tastes just like home.

They messed up the crank shaft? Thats a bit more than a 50$ repair on a 4t 125cc. You have yourself a good friend with a wrench.
I love Vegas but I cant ever find any good Italian. We usually stay at the MGM Grand when Im in town on business so we tried a few expensive ones first. Weve gone to Il Moulino, Sergios, Parma, Noras, and the place at New York New York. None really did that great. Im definitely going to check out Cuginos for some pie. Thanks for the tip!

[08087]

Ummm, PIZZA! Give me some!

Nothing like a good Pizza that is like home.

[kingkymco125]

The crank shaft was not too bad. They messed up the foot pedal thing when one does not want use the starter to start the car. As for pizza, Vegas does have a few of them now. If one travels to downtown Vegas, PizzaRock recently opened up across the street from the new Downtown Grand hotel(the old Lady Luck hotel). Popup Pizza is inside the new Plaza hotel and this place has really good pizza. On the west side of town is what is now known as world famous Dom DeMarco's  which is from the DiFara family of Brooklyn. Even  Nicolas Cage has eaten here. As you know Cuginos is good too. Just google them and read the reviews on Yelp.com

Guys,
My bike is finally fixed. My friend Terry took care of it. I am glad to be riding again, now that the weather is just about perfect for riding in Vegas. Now the only thing we need here is a heavy snow pack on the eastern Colorado Rockies for the drought to be over here in Vegas and the rest of the West.
