Last night someone broke in to my shop and stole my 199B and an 82 XR 500 Honda. I suspect it was a person or persons who know little of trials as there was also a sherco in the shop which was left behind. Must have been the lack of seat. l live in up state NY and I would appreciate it if every one would keep a look out for some one try to sell the bike.

thank you all very much

Pete

I got it back!!

The fine work of Schenectady's finest located it within 24 hrs. Unfortunately the thieves had it long enough to run out of fuel and ran it on raw gas for about a half of a tank. The top end is shot, still checking the bottom, may need a complete overhaul. The bike also suffered some cosmetic damage, fenders (from riding double), the left foot peg (i guess they couldn’t start it with the peg in the way, and the rear brake is worn to the metal.

The XR 500 is still out there, my guess is it will turn up as soon as they figure out how to start it or give up trying. The bike had a contaminated fuel system and did not run when it was stolen. These characters were not from the best part of town.
