bike security. clamps, concrete bolts, sheds

[mstriumph]

Park it in your lounge

cheers!! we have a WINNER!!!!!

personally, i have kept my bikes in the house everywhere where that has been possible and its been 100% sucessful at preventing theft .....

..... and carpet shampoo is a damn sight cheaper than buying another shed or whatever ....

Prak it inside.

my 3 flatmates are non-bikey and made me promise not to prak my sprotsbike inside ever. they dont even like it on the deck.

thats assuming I could get it in ther. the house is a good foot and a half off the ground without anywhere good to mount a ramp. thanks for the thoughts though guys. and LOL terminal addict for finding that old piccy I made ages ago.

Some one sent me this a while back

Great as long as it doesn't rain.

[SPORK]

Got a house here with a bikey as a landlord. A room will be vacant from end of Nov. The house is pretty crappy, though....(read: old with tattered paint.....see if I can persuade the real landlord to buy some paint for me)

yeah um. ive been living with these guys for nearly 5 years now and I wouldnt live with anyone else. but since your -edit somewhere near me- marmoot maybe I can just rent the room and prak my sprotsbike in there lol.

Your probably going to hate me I have over 500 sheds to choose from. I manage a storage complex. Best security around. Cameras, Floodlights,electric alarmed fence etc. Plus I live onsite.

Won't stop someone nicking it when I go to the shops on it though.

crash the bike a bit then it won't look nearly as attractive (like mine - it even has tape on it).

If it looks nasty but still griplocked then hopefully its far less attractive than the one next to it... just try to keep it mechanically good...

Helpful tips: or try to keep it out of site (possibly shed) and lock it best you can. Generally I leave the bike in first, using the kill switch (good way to test it works as well) so it can't roll. Then griplock it as well.

you could also try using a disc lock. Basically, immobilising the bike as much as possible. Make it not worth their while...

Well my bike is down a 30m drive and under a carport so that you wouldn't see it unless you were really looking. Plus we have some real close neighbours (they pack us in close in Kohi) so I know that should someone be snooping around they'd give me a heads up anyhows.

Also got one of those disk locks... bright orange, so really clashes with the lime green of the bike. First thing you see is the bike, second thing you see is the lock. If push came to shove they could probably have the lock off without much hassle, but for 90% of the theives out there it's too much like hard work.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Dont just chain it, chain it *to* something.... anyone can pick up a bike with a disc lock on it.... get a shed if you can, but otherwise, park it round the back of the house/out of sight from the road. Get a decent cover, eg Oxford rainex, and a good chain. Perhaps you can chain it to the corner of the house?

I cant find the mint one I saw in a shop (cant remember if its amps motomail or colemans) but this is kinda what im looking at

maybe throught the frame or something that dont take 5 minutes to remove like the front wheel though

[crashe]

Someone suggested a tarp..

Pyrocam has one, as I brought him one to keep his new girl nice an dry..
Well she did need a raincoat....

Pryrocam - go to the Mega Mitre 10 store out on Lincoln Rd....

They have different size sheds outside... take a look at them as the door openings maybe big enough to get your bike inside.
They are NOT that expensive either. Its just a matter of assembling the shed and dyno-bolt it to the ground.
If you ever move, then you can take the shed with you.
