Sorry to hear megadan, I hate POS thieves. I’m sure with how many people you’ve helped, you’ll come up with the money in no time. Just sent my donation to your go fund me account

Sent a few bucks to help the cause.

If your bike turns up put it towards fixin' the jeep.

If it turns up then it is going toward helping this community however it can. Free parts galore.

I appreciate everything you guys have done. I could never repay it. Even if I dont reach my goal, I am sure I can make up the difference if I sacrifice a few unused tools to the craigslist gods.

I could try the street corner too...

Hey Dan I chipped in a few bucks for the cause. The idea of losing a bike sucks enough but the amount of time and effort to make these bikes better than new is a huge loss too so I really hope the bike gets recovered in one piece AND the thieves get caught. Don't want to see you on the street corner lol.

On a side note, people should really look in to full coverage if possible. It costs a lot less than I would have expected. Full coverage vs. basic liability sets me back less than $2 a month and so if the bike is crashed or stolen I'm only out a $250 deductible. I park my bike in some sketchy places sometimes overnight and this gives me a little peace of mind.

Thank you.

Theft coverage here is ridiculous. The difference for me was 12 bucks a month vs 54ish a month. Bike theft in Omaha is a huge problem, especially this year. The detective assigned to my case number told me there has been over 70 bikes stolen in the last 6 weeks, most of those in the last 3.

I'm in for $20, don't post much but have learned a ton for Dan. We need to get himback on two wheels!

nickdowny · 05-22-2018, 10:34 PM

Lets keep it going about 1/3 of the way to cover the bike. Hope things turn around for you Dan.

I just wish there was some way I could thank you in return. I don't feel like I deserve it.

I will have to wait until May 30th when I get paid to pitch in, but you are too modest. You are to Chinariders and Hawks what Motocheez is to youtube and Hawks. He got a Magician out of promoting the Hawk so much...

Nebraska???? I always pictured it as a midwestern bible belt kinda place where folks would trip over themselves trying to return a wallet that just fell out of your pocket.

Sad.

GlennR · 05-22-2018, 10:59 PM

If I lived there I'd have to install GPS trackers on some bikes and catch those Bastards!

pistolclass · 05-22-2018, 11:04 PM

GPS or just a remote explosive under the seat.

pistolclass · 05-22-2018, 11:14 PM

Dan I'm sure you can rig one of these up.
