Bike security chain - where?

[Miscreant]

there are hardened security chains around..... locksmith/bikeshops sell them, hacksaw wont do much good on those

Unless you cut the surface with the edge of a file. If a crim is going to bring a hacksaw, it won't be too hard to carry a file too.

A security guy told me once that stranded cable as opposed to chain is better.

He said bolt cutters or a hack saw can quickly cut through a chain. He said bolt cutters don't work on stranded cable (he gave me a go, and they don't), and using a hack saw on it takes a long time.

They cut my stranded cable with a hacksaw and dragged the bike past my bedroom window. Disk lock fucked em up in the end and I found the bike a few meters down the road. Always use an alarm disk lock now, let's see you get that past my window.

But I've heard that a co2 fire extinguisher will fuck them up. Freeze them then smack the the lock. Dunno though, sounds like one for myth busters.

Lots of good info - keep it coming. Just for today, we'll dynabolt some chain to the concrete floor and weld the nuts on. Will loop the chain through a wheel and padlock it. Thats the best we can do on a public holiday. Also later this week will add extra PIR security lights, warning signs, alarm for the mrs bike, and nunchuck behind the back porch door.

My guess is thats all we'll need. Also wouldn't mind some PIR remote "doorbell" thingy that chimes when someone walks through its' zone, then "woody" my nunchuck mate and me can go "investigate."

If we had 100k worth of harleys, we'd go a little higher end.. perhaps with the shotgun instead of the nunchuck.

We got a big stranded cable with plastic casing from Bunnings, and a massive padlock. It's pretty heavy weight, can't see anyone being able to saw through it quicky. We can get it through a bike and through a ground anchor and back around again, or looped through the front wheels of two bikes and padlocked up nice and secure. Just make sure the padlock is big and meaty, would be pointless buying a big cable that needs to be sawed through and then having thieves rip through the lock with bolt cutters.

All done. They better not turn up after dark again, coz they will get a nasty surprise.

You can buy a cable lock starting from around $20 and how much is it to comprehensively insure a Hyo?

DB has said many times that he dosnt believe in insurance.

Nunchuck - LOL @ the dangerous ninja. Your more likley to knock yourself out. :slap:

Seriously - you are spending more on security than the bike is worth - Just celotape a copy of a review of the bike to the tank.

Then - the guy wont steal it and will probably hurt himself laughing so much.

Your welcome!

Got any links to some good tutorial books or DVD's for using nunchuks? Or better yet a qualified instructor?

[spudchucka]

You'd think that just owning a Hyosung would be enough to deter the thieves!

[bogan]

do they make hyosung parking only signs? could be a bit of money in that as all bikers could get one for theft deterrent!

Got a "go ahead punks make my day security" system myself.
Also double door locks on a reinforced door and a basic alarm system.

If the buggers get past that and me they can have my bike it's insured.

my auxiliary outboard was secured on the boat with a stranded cable but i had to get it off and had lost the key, 2 mins with a hacksaw and it was gone

Depends on the cable.High Tensile is not easy to cut and security cables a la Kryptonite,have tubular shell sections over the cable that just spin if you try to saw them.

Well I got a hidden light-beam door-shop-minder thingy with a loud beeper by my bed, and a long fucken pipe by my back door. Modern electronics meets caveman - best of both worlds.

Lets see those bitches argue with that security system.
