Default Race Trailor and Bikes stolen in Las Vegas.

Racer Clint McBain and Guy Tomlinson Jr. have just had their bikes and gear stolen in Vegas. If you hear of someone selling similar parts via Ebay...please call or email Clint.

That's horrible. A lot of bikes have been stolen lately - CalSportbike's trailer was also stolen.

Die thieves, die.

What a shame. People work so hard for their **** just so some lowlife can take it all away in 5 minutes.

Yes, they were canadian Superbike Champonship riders. Both very fast too.

All there gear is worthless because its customized with McBain/Blackfoot motorsport on all the items. He even has his stickers on the bike so it would have to have alot of stuff changed out to not be noticed.

I am assuming that it is for race data. I think the range would be quite minimal. These guys are professionals. I don't know him personally but I believe he does this for a living.

Yea I was just curious because there are engine managements that allow you to tune the bike from a different part of the country.

I have heard on 600rr that this might have been an insurance job. It sounds like one to me.

The person that said that did not know him and just made the comment on the 3rd post or so if I am correct. Insurance would be far feached.


Even though he was sponsored with all of this stuff I could never see him doing for a payout.

If it's true we don't deserve people like this in our sport.

thats basically how its done. i was watching 2wheel Tuesday on SpeedTv during the Daytona Bike week earlier in the year, they interviewed a former professional bike thief, and basically stated that stealing a bike is the easiest thing to do. Basically an idiot with some common sense can steal it.

ppl think that their bikes are protected by being inside a trailor, but little do they know, all a thief needs is a powerful truck. Attach the trailor to the trucks hitch, and off they go.
