Two weeks ago was a darn mess for Giant Centipedes. Half of the gang's raison d'être was bluntly taken away one September night. Stolen, to be precise. The black 5000, named Sarte Sara ("Sensitive Sara") in true Chuck Yeager-style, was suddenly missing from an otherwise pretty secure parking garage.
The velo was reported stolen and action was taken. Flyers were distributed without the slightest care for the wellbeing of Finnish woods and were soon hanging from every street corner and in every shop, promising a solid bounty, should Sarte Sara be returned to the hands of her rightful owner.
The bike was found a few days after, not far away from the garage it was stolen from. It had taken a beating, but we praised its return. Besides, it could have been worse:
The plastic casing for the rotor was missing, so was the front plate covering the engine and the plastic return pipe. The rear tire was flat, and the floorboard was missing too.
The only real menace caused by these scooter-amoeba was that the fans on the rotor had been bent in a quite uncool manner.
Obviously, the juveniles didn't know what they were dealing with and couldn't grasp the full scale of 0,78 hp tugging like mad at the front wheel. One of them probably lost all control of the moped when faced with the abundance of power and was, hopefully, thrown of the bike with enormous velocity.
DON'T MESS WITH THE 'PEDES!
