This happened about 2 hours ago. My garage door was wide open and my mountain bike with a Dax 80cc engine was sitting up in front of the garage with a great side view to anyone passing by. I am on a cul de sac and really didn't think anyone would bother it. Being an old man I was taking a little power nap for about 30 minutes. When I went out to the garage after the nap the bike was laying on its side with the back wheel out in the driveway and the front wheel rotated all the way around and the front was just at the edge of the garage. I think they just grabbed it to run but the clutch was engaged and it wouldn roll so they lifted the back out and somehow got the front wheel turned all the way around. It wasn't stolen but the attempt was made and maybe me and anyone else can see how easy it is if you give the opportunity to these theives. Anyway I decide to take it for a ride to be sure all was ok. It looked ok but you never know. It rode just fine so when I decided to turn around and head for home the front wheel caught between the curb and the pavement (crack was covered by leaves and not visable). It just stopped with me going out to the side and forward. I was able to think oh s... this is going to hurt. Well it did hurt a lot. Ribs and shin. After hurting for awhile I got it up and the old gal was still ok with no damage. I got on it and got home ok but sure do hurt. I decided that this just wasn't my day so I am in the house with the blinds down and don't intend to get out anymore today. Tom
