If the plastic is in that kind of shape their's no reason to be parting them out.
And a 2004 ZX-10 plastics lol this guy has been busy and if they are hot and I'm sure they are, I bet the owners would like to kill him.

possible explanation, tho i defintiely have no reason to suggest that it's true: he's a bike shop/painter/racer who does aftermarket bodywork and sells the stock stuff on ebay. as to starting the auction out low... it's a marketing theory some people use where they start off low to attract more attention. they firmly believe (quite possibly correctly) that the end price will actualyl be higer than starting with a low price.

possible he's a bike shop/painter/racer who does aftermarket bodywork .
Or it's possible he's a theif/punk/herion user that needs a fix.
I noticed a lot of bike parts from ebay are comming from NY.
My friends neighbor got poped by the feds for selling video taped concerts on ebay.

I had a 2002 kawasaki stole out of my garage 2 years ago I think they followed me home the only thing they took was the bike no tools or anything else it took them a while to get it but they did.
the fukkers will cut a hole right through the side of your garage.
Got it back in pieces, also I found it not the police.I live east of chicago in a nice area, it don't matter where you live if they want it they will take it.
I in stalled a motion detector put a lock through the garage door track also a good deadbold keyed on both sides on the door so they have to come out the hole they created. next time they die!!!

seriously, this is by far my preferred method of dealing with theft. i know alot of people say "that's what insurance is for", but i dont like that approach (true as it may be). first, it just means our insurance stays high so some fuckface can make a living off us, and second, i'd MUCH rather catch the fuckers. i think every vehicle should have a tracking device. theft would drop to nil. of course, if they were that common thiefs would look for and probably remove or disable them 
still, the thought of following my tracked bike and finding a whole theft operation at the source just makes me giddy

Well, I can add the lojack to my exsiting "deterants"
1. 7 acres of land and a 1/4 mile dirt driveway - easy to hear em coming and going AND a nice hill overlooking most of the drive (think snipe position)
2. H&K Tactical for close in work
3. Remington 12 guage semi-auto for close work with multiple targets
4. Remington PSX M700 with Leo scope and haris bipod - for the nice hill overlooking my drive.
5. Full alarm system and motion detectors with floodlights around the perimeter
Yep. I think the lojack will add nicely to my setup  .

NYPD Brings Down Large-scale Motorcycle Theft Ring
From a press release issued by the New York Police Department (NYPD):
NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER RAYMOND W. KELLY ANNOUNCES 13 ARRESTS IN THE TAKEDOWN OF A MOTORCYCLE THEFT RING
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly today announced the arrest of 13 members of a motorcycle theft ring. The ring utilized swift turnarounds and the Internet as the key components in their operation. The ring was so prolific that when officers made arrests this morning, two suspects had a freshly stolen motorcycle in their van. The investigation was carried out by members of the Auto Crime Division with assistance from Police Departments in Ohio and California, as well as Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York.
The theft ring focused on high-performance motorcycles of recent vintage. The crew's specialty was to steal a motorcycle and dismantle it for resale within a few days. When the vehicles were reduced to pieces, the thieves would sell the various parts without serial numbers on popular Internet auction sites.
Engine blocks stamped with a serial number were usually sold on sites catering to "dwarf car" racing. Dwarf cars are 5/8th the size of regular vehicles and are powered by motorcycle engines. Racing these vehicles is popular in California and other states where the events take place on privately owned tracks. In dwarf car racing, the engines work to their limit and their lifespan can be as short as a week. The engines are expensive disposable parts.
Police Commissioner Kelly said: "The speed and savvy this group of criminals used was overcome by the skill of the Auto Crime Division detectives. Beginning with no more than an Internet nickname, our investigative professionals built an entire case against a crew that worked in the shadows. The officers used their street smarts as well as their technological know-how and in the end, got the goods on a crew
responsible for numerous motorcycle thefts. Thank you all for your excellent work."
This investigation was initiated when a Queens resident reported a stolen motorcycle to the 104th Precinct Detective Squad. After reporting the theft, the victim returned home and began to search online for a similar bike. To his amazement, he identified parts for sale from his own motorcycle. There was small but distinctive scratch on the gas tank that clearly distinguished it as a part from his bike.
The Auto Crime Division went to work contacting the seller of the stolen parts through his online ID. Officers soon arranged the purchase of two stolen motorcycle engines. The detectives developed a complete picture of the group and traced their activities around the country. Police in Ohio and California intercepted shipments using local warrants to identify stolen motors and documented them with digital photographs.
The ring included thieves who stole the motorcycles and they received critical information from "locators," innocents employed at a driving school and an insurance brokerage office. The thieves spotted prospective bikes and noted the license plate numbers. They then duped locators into running the plates to determine the owners' information and most importantly, where the motorcycle was registered.
Most often late at night, the thieves swooped in and stole the motorcycles from the owners' residences. In fact, while investigators waited this morning at crew member Jose Hernandez's home at 10-38 Bay 32nd Street in the 101st Precinct, they saw a white van approaching. The van's driver spotted the police officers and attempted to screech away. However, the detectives successfully intercepted the getaway and discovered that Hernandez was not alone in the van. Along for the ride was Quincy Pringle and a stolen 2004 Honda CBR 1000. The theft was so recent that the owner had not yet reported the motorcycle stolen.
The stolen bikes were dismantled at two different locations and the parts were stored in one of four separate facilities. The group also kept a driver from a private garbage company on their payroll to cart away the scrap pieces.
The separate parts and the engines landed with the four "fencemen." These individuals, who are also the group's leaders, employed a variety of web sites and Internet identifications to sell their stolen wares. The entire process from steal to sale and disposal would happen within days.
Officers served 26 search warrants where they seized more than $160,000 in cash, 90 motorcycles engines, 9 motorcycles, a large assortment of motorcycles parts, 9 computers, an RV and 5 cars. The ringleaders are Chris Demetrolus, Robert Fili, Mike Kontos and Eric Kohler, a New York City fireman.
This investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected.

sweeeeet
maybe that 160K can be distributed to the people whose bikes were stolen, or reimbursed to their insurance carriers if they were claimed & settled.
