Waiver or not, when Travis ain't there, the Pastrana compound is closed.

Some good and bad news for us Pastrana fans. The criminals that stole those bikes that were stolen from TP, including one of his trophy bikes (you can read about it here) have been caught and one faces 10 years in prison! Only one of the bikes out of the four that were stolen were found which was a 2008 Suzuki RM450. The other three bikes still haven’t been found but apparently they’re somewhere in the Baltimore area, so keep an eye out if you live nearby.

That’s the good news, the bad news for the rest of is, don’t expect to flip into Travis’ foam pit or check out his shop out while he isn’t there. According to Robert Pastrana, TP’s dad, Travis has beefed up his security and isn’t allowing anyone accessing his property while he is away, which is a good portion of the year unfortunately.

On a final note, Robert also said that one of the stolen bikes was a trophy bike (like his 125cc Motocross Championship bike or the Double Backflip bike) which he planned to display inside (like both bikes mentioned) however that one is still missing. So keep an eye out for a 2008 Suzuki RM250, a 2004 Suzuki RM250 and a 1995 Honda CR500, all decked out in typical Pastrana/199 decals and equipment. The trophy bike was probably the ‘04 250 since Travis didn’t really race in 2008.
