These dudes stole my motorcycle and i’m not really taking it personal but i dont understand why some people are so inconsiderate to take someone elses property for either fun or money without thinking beforehand of what they may cause. I work hard to pay for that motorcycle and i didnt have full insurance and now i’m stuck with paying for something i cant use. On top of that it’s not like i could simply buy myself anotherone to move arround. I hope they stay put away for a long time.
