Canadian Superbike racer, and former National champ, Clint McBain was the victim of major theft while in Las Vegas. Here are his words that I cut and paste from another board.
From: Clint McBain
Hello everyone,
This past weekend (March 17 - 20) I went down to Las Vegas, Nevada to take
part in two track days with Fastrack riders at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
We had a great two days of riding, but unfortunately on Sunday evening in
the Orlean's Hotel & Casino parking lot my truck was broken into and they
stole our trailer with all our bikes and gear in it. We have filled
reports with LVPD, but I have a gut feeling that is not going to get our
stuff back. I'm hoping that you folks, being in and around the motorcycle
industry could help us out by posting this email and pictures and keeping
an eye and ears out for any of our stuff. The motorcycles are
unregistered race bikes from Canada (see description below), so I presume
they may possible show up at a race track some time, or they may be
stripped and parted out (e-bay, classifieds, etc.). If you hear or see of
anything that you think may relate to this, could you please be so kind as
to contact me (Clint McBain)?
Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you think may be able to
watch for or provide additional information on these items. Thank you so
much for your assistance, I truly appreciate it.
