No offence but dude doesn’t need a speculative life lesson on a PB trail conditions forum after his whip just got stolen. What’s done is done at this point. Maybe leave it at “that sucks”, “sorry” and/or “I’ll keep my eye out”.

I’ve read a number of stories like this, one being a person having a 2017 Nomad stolen in exactly the same manner as the seller let the prospective buyer take it for a “ride around the block”. Prospective buyer left his phone, wallet and keys. Turns out keys were to nothing, phone screen was smashed and wallet was empty. Hope you get your bike back dude! Friend had his high end Trance stolen and police recovered it 3 weeks later so there is hope.

lol thieves are getting creative. sell with a friend? I guess...

When it comes to selling big ticket items I always meet the buyer at a local Police station parking lot during day time hours only. No exceptions. This usually weeds out the scum of the earth. Most people understand why too. The honest ones anyways.

Diamond T loop pretty good, almost all covered in footprints but not a bad ride at all. Excellent snow.

West Bragg crazy busy today. Parking lot full at noon when we left.

Braggin and Merlin were great though Merlin had quite a bit of rutted ice with light layer of snow on it.
