So happy to report I have my fazer back after its disappearance last week! It reappeared yesterday morning, parked up neatly blocking the pavement on my own road. Ignition wiring cut, half way up/down the steep hill I live on, still with a full tank of petrol.
I am mysified. The full tank suggests they did not go far, but they must have ridden it away, or I would have found it dumped at the bottom of the hill days ago (maybe after a failed bump start?); they presumably also had it running in order to dump it half way up a steep hill yesterday. If they had it running why only do a litre or so's worth of riding in the 3 days it was missing, and then bring it back to the very road they nicked it from?
I feel very lucky to have it back, no major damage, just the cut wiring, jimmyed seat which does not fit quite right now and missing plastic side panel on left side. Could have been a lot worse. Anyone got a spare one of those plastic covers?
Cheers.
