keep your eyes out

from WERA bbs...

Fellow WERA racers,

My old-school GSXR was stolen!

We have to watch out for each other in Vegas! I have heard about many stolen trailers and racebikes out there. Last week on 11/4/07, about 1 hour after finishing my last WERA race of the year, my 2006 Denali, 6x10 trailer, GSX-R750 racebike, and all my tools, spares, laptop, camera, leathers, helmet - everything I own relating to motorcycle racing was stolen! The total amount of stuff still missing is $30,000 (because we got the Denali and trailer back).

We were parked in the Tony Roma's lot at 2040 N. Rainbow Road in Las Vegas - we were in the restaurant for 20 minutes - when we came out, everything was gone. Later the police recovered my Denali and trailer but everything was gone from the insides and they ripped out my dash and stole my nav unit. I learned that OnStar is worthless for tracking stolen vehicles - the theives just pulled the fuse! We are trying to get some $$ from insurance so I can go racing - 2008 is supposed to be my Expert year and I'm working to get 300 points to get my AMA Pro License for 2009.

I could use everyone's help in getting back on my feet - no handouts - but if you know of anyone selling anything for a good price I would love to know about it - I need to buy at least:

GSXR-600 racebike of some kind - prefer 2006 or newer - anyone have one?
Leathers - size 54 (I had Dainese)
Helmet size XL (I had Shoei X-11)
Gloves size XXl (I had Racer)
Boots size 13 (I had Sidi Vertigo Corsa)
Tools - they took everything - I don't even have a socket set and I do all my own race prep and technical set-up!

My website is www.chipyates.com

If you see my bike appear at a trackday or race - please let me know at racing@swigz.com

Thanks my brothers and sisters!

William & Julie Yates

I hate those thieving bastards! Sorry to hear the news. Hopefully they do something stupid and get caught. Keep an eye out on ebay and craigslist
