CASH REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE FULL RECOVERY OF THIS BIKE!!!!!!

I am fresh home from Iraq and was home visiting my family on leave. I took my bike with me so I could ride some of the killer Idaho single track I grew up riding. I spent the night at Motel 6 in Grants Pass, Oregon last night. I parked right by my room and the office. This morning when I came down to my truck at 5am my tailgate was open and my bike was gone!!!!! :yikes: :yikes: I feel bad enough about it so please don't tell me I should have locked it up or put it in my room. I have been woulda, coulda, shoulda, all day and it's not helping.

Here's the bike

It's a 2004 KX 250 Vin # JKAKXMMC14A013415 Here's a few things that would make it really easy to spot:

Factory Graphics

One piece number backgrounds with #5. The name Joey Myers is across the top of the front number plate.

2008 Idaho OHV sticker on the frame by the steering stem

Custom suspension with fork stickers from GP Racing in Lewiston Idaho.

Acerbis handguards

3.1 gallon Clear Clarke tank

IMS pegs

Enduro Engineering shark fin

Moose skid plate

Renthal Twinwalls with Tag upper triple clamp

FMF Pipe and Silencer

Seal Savers

I live 30 miles outside Sacramento so I'm limited on what I can do from here. I'm going to send flyers to all the bike shops in Grants Pass. If anybody knows of any bike clubs in that area please provide a contact.

If anybody has ANY information please contact me at 707-759-4107.

Well I got really lucky and had someone spot my bike. I got even more lucky when they were so pissed at the tweakers that stole it that they stole it back from them for me. It's all in one piece minus the number backgrounds and handguards. I drove 400 miles today to pick it up. I stayed in a hotel tonite and rather than risk it in the truck again I parked right in my room. Glad the front desk didn't see me wheeling it in the room.

Have you ever seen Pet Cemetery 2? When the guy does a burnout on that kids face... THAT's what you should've done upon getting it back.. I HATE thieves.

tnx-- that's priceless. We have some similar issues here. Makes me want to make up a 'bait bike' and either GPS track it or place a small remote controlled explosive charge in the tank-- haha!

The fact that the guy who returned the bike didn't even bother to notify authorities, and just "stole the bike back", makes me think maybe he was the one who grabbed the bike in the first place. He saw the flyer, and decided to make some easy money off the bike he just stole, without running the risk of trying to sell it. Just a thought.
