the day I picked it up.. 100 miles on the OD and bone stock

the exhaust/sprocket

spent the night putting the bike back together. had the rims powdercoated black. all fluids changed. all that for bikeweek

daytona bike week 2010

then then day i got back from bikeweek.. it was stolen that night and wrecked into a guard rail

we mounted my gopro hero on the trex and have prob 3-4 hrs of vids ripping around daytona beach fl. cruising with other t-rex's.. i miss it already and its been gone for a month..

nooo waayy......that's crazy. How'd it get stolen?! I'm so sorry to see hear this

bl@ckvr4 · 04-21-2010, 10:53 AM

Oh man! That's terrible! Is it salvageable? Is the insurance covering it?

On a side note: RPFs on a T-Rex = Ultra win

OBEEWON · 04-21-2010, 10:54 AM

Insurance payout???

vettez062002 · 04-21-2010, 10:56 AM

it was sitting at a shop and it was took without permission... long story. insurance wont cover it because i wasnt driving it and it was taken without permission so there insurance wont cover it...so its turning into a loooong issue. lawyers involved.. its a headache.

bl@ckvr4 · 04-21-2010, 11:06 AM

Man. That's terrible.

james_ls · 04-21-2010, 11:14 AM

That's crazy.

Someone else had one on here, idk if you are the same person. they couldnt get insurance for it or something if im not mistaken.

regardless man, whether its a daily driver, or the trex, a loss is always a downer. Sorry man!

ndubz · 04-21-2010, 12:11 PM

It seems to me that a Trex is one of those vehicles that u need to know the right way t drive it....... like a porsche (maybe even more so)........ or u'll wind up crashing it like that toolbag did urs. I hate stupid people.

JDMTyler3326 · 04-21-2010, 12:29 PM

cupofnoodles · 04-21-2010, 05:28 PM

mckpat03 · 04-21-2010, 09:27 PM

I thought you let your friend drive it and he put it into a guard rail? Either way it sucks real bad man.

the only person allowed to drive this thing is me. I let my brother rip it once and a friend in the parking lot. its a 45,000 toy.. not a 5000 bucket.

That's a shame. I've always wanted one of these but I'd only even consider buying one if I lived where it was warm 90% of the year like Florida. Still sick though.
