Man, that is some BS for sure. I say you hunt them down and make their heads look like ur tank... I can't believe someone would just randomly tear up ur crap. That sucks, sorry to see that.

Just a few moments ago, someone threw an apple at my dorm room door and it exploded everywhere. There are other rooms in my hall that have apples smashed into them also.

People these days have NO RESPECT. My family and friends wonder day in and day out why I love living in Japan so much, and I can tell them one of the best reasons is HARMONY! Shitty stuff like that rarely happens in Japan. People are just more ethical and respectful.

If you ever find out who did that to your bike, I wouldn't loose a second of sleep if someone accidentally shot them.

Man, that really blows. Looks like vandal season has started early this year. I friggin' hate Halloween. They should just do away with it. Every year asshats drop pumpkins off highway overpasses and kill or maim innocent people, kids get poisoned or run over in the dark and pedophiles think they died and went to heaven. What a fucked up "holiday". The town managers in an adjoining town pissed everyone off this week by saying kids there have to do their trick-or-treating on Saturday instead of Halloween Friday because it's "too dangerous" with all the Friday traffic. Now everyone in the town is afraid that kids will be coming there from all over the state Saturday to get a second night of collecting candy! Damn thing is based on ancient Satanistic tradition anyway isn't it? Maybe we should have "Serial Killer's Day" to and celebrate the accomplishments of Jeffrey Dahmer, Charlie Manson and Ted Bundy too! :cussing:

Satanic tradition? hardly buddy...do some research then get back to me.

i personally love Halloween...best holiday there is. only downside is you dont get off work for it, even for religious reasons which is BS!

anyways...sorry about the bike. anyone who destroys someone elses property should be publicly flogged IMO. thieves should have their hands cut off. sure not "politically correct" but political correctness hardly seems to do the job these days! show them we mean business and crime rates will go down im sure.

but this is why i dont leave my bike unattended if i can help it. even in a small town i dont trust people to respect my property!

Wow man, that is screwed up big time. If there is one thing that pisses me off more than anything else it is vandalism. A person works hard for his/her possessions....too hard to have some jealous asshole come by and vandalize it.

I personally believe in what comes around goes around. I don't think that would make you feel any better in this situation, as it probably wouldn't make me feel better, but one day the jackass will have it come back and bite him in the ass. Hopefully sooner then later.

thanks for all the support guys. The sad thing is that i live in a very safe neighborhood, for those who are wondering its Newton Massachusetts. It was rated one of the safest towns in the US at some point recently. But anyway, the bike was parked on the driveway where it's been parked since the day one. And yeah you're right about it being a pumpkin. Someone threw one out of a car and my bike was the first in line of fire. My friends SV was second, and the cars parked behind the SV just got pumpkin guts all over them. Another sucky thing is that my deductible is 500$ making this one useless as far as the insurance claim goes. It just sucks that i have to pay 500$ for somebodies fun.
What would help is if any of you awesome people see a used black tank on sale anywhere, PLZ let me know. I would really appreciate it. The bike is gonna get stored for the winter soon, so i will leave the repair till spring and hope to find a used tank before then. If not i will bite the bullet next spring....

I grew up in Newton. Newton Highlands to be exact. It used to be a great place to live when I was a kid, but it's changed completely since I was there. When I go back there now I hardly recognize the place and feel like I'm in Brighton or Cambridge. There was always a certain amount of vandalism (mostly from the "bad boys" who lived in Newton Upper Falls), but there are so many more people living there now. Overdevelopment and people from all over the country flocking there for the good schools changed the entire complexion of the city in under 20 years. McMansions started popping up everywhere and the small home I grew up in that my contractor grandfather built in 1951 for $9000 sold 35 years later for 1.5 million dollars. It was immeadiately torn down and replaced with a huge home 3 times it's size that barely fit the property. I don't know of a single friend I went to school with that can still afford to live there and most have moved way out into the western suburbs, as I did a few years ago. Now I live in Central Mass. in a small town of 3000 and the pace of life is nice and slow and traffic is minimal. It reminds me a lot of the Newton I grew up in, but I see the same pressures to develop that led to Newton's decline every day. The people who grew up here don't realize the down side of development and that it's irreversable and I dread the day this beautiful little town loses it's innocence too.

Really sorry about the bike. I'm on ebay and Craigslist quite a bit and I'll keep an eye out for a tank for you.

Wow I must be out of it. When I read used tank, at first I was thinking of this:

Thought you were looking to get even :) I bet a pumpkin shot out of that will do more damage haha.

I can def. sympathize though. Last night some a**hats broke into my garage, and stole my air compressor, tools, radio and ipod, and the steering wheel from my roommates race car. Luckily they left my bike alone, but people have no respect for anything.
