Nate, you know Bruce? I have a friend that knows him and says he's a great guy. I'll definitely keep my eyes open. This news has spread fast all over. Hopefully with the amount of people who have heard about it, something will turn up.

I got the e mail from Kenny Dreer , (of Norton fame) who is a very good friend of mine. Bruce and he are very good friends so this is personal and very close to home.

Please get the word out and I think this needs to be posted where more folks can see it.Any chance of a link from the Acc and Mods section which is probably the most popular on the site?

Or maybe a new section altogether..

STOLEN MOTORCYCLES where one can list bikes they know have been stolen.,

In any event, if you happen to come across these bikes/parts etc, do not approach the person, but get as much info as possible and call 911 right away.Lets get this stuff back before it heads out to the former eastern block or somewhere in a container.

All of DESMO have their eyes peeled.  The thieves probably have no idea what they stole.  I do hope all is found, particularly the TTs

I met Bruce in 2000 at his shop when I was first looking at a monster for sale privately.

I volunteer for his track day company as a cornerworker....have since 2K.

He passed me on his RS going in to one just last week...and laughed at me.

You'll never meet a nicer more enthusiastic person.

Update:
Friday, September 05, 2008

We got a call today from the St. Eustache police department (near Montreal).  They found our truck
today, only the truck...but at least there is now a trail and it now appears that possibly the theft
was for the bikes.

Let's hope the bikes are found intact first.  Then the thieving bastards can be treated like Slinkies.  Over and over again.

It is a damn shame that something like this has to happen to Bruce. He is probably one of the coolest, kindest people I have ever met.

I really hope this has a positive ending because Bruce is the last person to deserve it  >:(

They have recovered the truck...

no bikes yet, but Bruce has offered a no questions asked reward in the hopes that the bikes don't end up at the bottom of a quarry

FOUND!  From DESMO:

Great news from Canada - my two racebikes stolen back in August from
the "secure" garage at my hotel in Mont Tremblant have been found.
Thanks to everyone who posted and communicated with the motorcycle
community to help slam the door shut on any possible black market
sale of the bikes.

We did have to pay a "ransom" and we did not get back all my gear and
the spare parts and miscellaneous other things stolen. But my bikes
are back safe at my friend's place in Mont Tremblant and in good
condition. And for that we are very happy. Many many thanks to my
Canadian friends and Ed Milich, who created a website with pictures
and VIN information to keep the news out there.

Keep a lookout for a couple of sets of 996RS cams and pistons
appearing on the market. Also missing all my RS gearing and special
tools. Plus my RevIt leathers (size 58, red/white), Arai XXL Corsair
(White) helmet, Daytona boots (45, Red/White), Held gloves (12).

Best regards,

Bruce Meyers
