just have a bike no one wnats to steal...

**vamr** · 13th December 2006, 11:20

I generally don't find myself parking the bike for extended periods of time anywhere but in the garage.

If someone has there beady little peepers on your bike, you aren't going to stop them anyway.

Even disk locks which you can't get bolt cutter on to aren't foolproof. Mine has an audible alarm which goes off as soon as the bike is moved but when six burly men are carrying the bike onto the back of a truck, do you take them on or phone the cops and wait the three hours it takes them to arrive?

When someone wants something badly enough and they are part of an organised group, nothing will stop them. Not if but when.

So I think the moral of the story is park your bike on a slippery floor so they can't bounce on a set of croppers.

A bike no one would want to steal? Well K1s are getting pretty rare so the later CBs will soon. But a friend had a rover 2000 stolen so ask yourself this question. Is my bike more or less desirable that one of those. The sad part of the story is he got it back.

The usual response to if they want it they will take it; yes they will, but
1. only if they know where you park it
2. only if it is easier to steal than something else.

People only think security is worth it after they've been hit.

I agree with you on that one. I hate people who steal, especially when its someones prized possesion (sp) Kind of a sad world we live in.
That is also quite scary to see those 'secure' locks not doing their job. I need to get a decent one for my bike

I live next guy to a guy with a harley in the garage, doubt anyone will waste their time pinching mine....

**F5 Dave** · 13th December 2006, 15:59

unless he is stealing to order & some dodgy speedway sidecar rig is after another engine. Now what is a good solid sidecar engine? Hmm. . .

Or come to think of it maybe an unscrupulous YZF750 owner wanting to power-up their bike. Where abouts in wgtn did you say?

Something not quite right there...

When I was a young fellow, one of my mates had a Triumph Bonneville 650 which all the gang members wanted back then.

He chained it to a steel post set in concrete in the middle of the garage floor, barred all the windos and the door and always slept with it and had a rather nasty Dobberman in the garage with him too.

Now that's dedication
