So last night, some drunk douchebag tried to steal my NC (Yes, it is parked outside. I don't have a garage and live on the 2nd floor of my building and have no choice but to leave it outside). One of my neighbors caught him in the act. He was TRASHED and claiming he was my brother and he is just taking the bike. Well, I don't have a brother and my closest family member lives over 1500 miles away in Massachusetts. Anyway, when he was found out, he dropped the bike onto its right side. He bent the crap out of my bars!! He also dinged up my exhaust, but nothing major. Just some scratches and a small small dent on it. He also tried to take my Scooter (2t Genuine Stella). I guess he got mad about the steering being locked and knocked it over and then dragged it out of my parking spot and left it behind the truck one spot over. In turn, he pushed the throttle tube so far into the headset that the throttle is jammed and will not turn. I assume he tried to move it without the clutch too and primed the engine. Because it started on the first kick and that never happens unless I've had it running for a bit and only had it off for a few minutes. So anyway, the cops were called, he was arrested for public Intox, trespassing, probably vandalism and the Officer wants to talk with me about any damages. I had no idea any of this was going on. My GF stayed over last night and we went to bed about 12:30. When I was walking her out to her car this morning, we found a note on my door from the neighbor that caught him. I guess she banged on my door and rung my door bell a lot as well as yelled for me from my door and from out back to my window. Neither of us heard a peep! I guess we were dead to the world at the moment? Anyway, I don't know if there are any other damages that I'm just not seeing yet or not. The Scooter is now parked in a friends garage since I don't ride it often. The NC will be getting a alarm ASAP and I'm thinking I might throw a Disc Lock on it too (I know, I should have had at least one of these already... hind sight is 20/20). I know that both of those wont stop it from being stolen, but it might scare a joy rider off?
So now is my chance/reason to buy new bars for the NC. Im not sure if they are 1" or .875" tube. Does anyone know off hand? Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a alarm and or kill switch that work well?
