If anybody see's or hears anything about one being parted out or sold please email me at [email protected] or call (814) 839-2436 . It was taken from the local Yamaha dealer who has no insurance on customer bikes. So the son is out of 8 grand .Please hep any help will be greatly appriciated Thanks Dave C

I think I would see a lawyer about that one! That's just not right.

 

[John Henry]

agree with the bird man. COntact a lawyer and see what advice they have for you.

unfortunately I doubt it will ever be found. normally it isn't locals that steal them. it is someone from out of town that takes em many miles away to sell them. call the cops and get a report filled out. that way if the thief sells it and someone trys to register it the vin number is in the system as stolen. probably your best bet. there is tons of story's on highlifter about stolen bikes.

I would,t Be too sure the shop owner can't be made to pay. When he acccepts a bike for repair he has what is called a "Bailment" which means he has to exercise care in protecting it. If it was stolen from inside the shop and the shop was locked up he probably is off the hook but if it was left outside where it could be seen and cceddes he may be liable.

I would be after the shop owner also, friend or not. But this should also be a notice to all ATV owners, insurance for an $8,000 machine will run you about $200 a year for full replacement cost. Cheap insurance for what we own!

 

[bigben]

yep I was gonna mention that. I have full coverage on my quad for 225 and that covers pretty much everything.

not to get off subject but my cousin just totaled his quad. he was paying $140 a year. Adjuster gave him a check for $3,000 and he got to keep the plow and winch. He only paid $3,500 for everything and rode it for a few years. Hope you can find the quad.

I pay about $100 a year for liability and theft from Erie. ALWAYS get theft insurance!!
