Vintage Racing Motorcycles Stolen
Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC-TV reports that a vintage motorcycle collector was robbed of his 1914 overhead cam Cyclone and a Honda CR110 racer when a pair of intruders broke into the man's house, tied him up and made off with the two race bikes, which are valued at approximately $1 million and $60,000, respectively.

I hope these dirtbags are caught.Kind of sounds like it must have been at least a semi inside job.Or maybe a couple crackhead crooks who have no idea what they've taken?Either way they should get the chair[:0].

Yea, sad to say but I'm sure those bikes did not sit around state side very long after the dirt bags lifted them. I don't think your run of the mill bike thief was involved here. That was defiantly planed out and executed with precision. Although tying the guy up sounds like they didn't plan enough to do it when he was not around. Needless to say they are probably sitting in the entry way of some oil baron's mansion in the Middle East.

Or on the way to Italy, where many stolen bikes end up.

those bikes will be found the cyclone for sure. I know Gilberts from talking on the phone and know one Cleveland he has from a friend Soo Boyachek
this guy has a great collection they must have walked past tons of bikes and memorabilia so as to think they had a specific order for those bikes
unless the buyer just wants to have and look at in a cave they will be found even in Europe
community for that kind of bike is to small!
