Bike alarms - worth the money?

**R6_kid:Me** · 9th November 2004, 20:48

lol i thought about putting some kinda electrical current thru the seat or handle bars to do that sort of thing, i can just picture some twit coming up to do the vroom vroom thing and going, AHHH FUCK it bit me

All the same, im getting an alarm in from the USA coz its relatively cheap. I'll post details when i know exactly what it is. Got the remote start in all (just for show), and a few other features, but i aint gonna go for a pager system at the moment. but may look that way in the future.

Probably gonna get a disc lock with a warning device, and when money allows also a brake/throttle grip lock.

Anyone keen to help me with the electrification of my handle grips???

In South Africa, one guy got pissed off with people continually stealing his car radio. So... He bolted it in bigtime, and attached numerous big fish hooks to the underneath of the radio, just out of sight. He came back to his car, to find the thief well and truly "caught", still stuck to the radio. In the end, the owner of the car/radio got done in court, and had to pay the thief!

Have you seen those autotazers ?, They're like a club lock but when they get disturbed they have visible current flowing through them and give a similar shock to an electric fence... I'm sure it would be easy to get a similar idea going on the handlebars.....

I had one on the RF and will fit it to the Bandit soon. Everything helps, it needs to have an immobiliser as well.
A side benefit is that, if someone backs into your bike the alarm will warn you in time to inflict GBH.

Most theifs are dimwits, so I'll just stick a 'Beware of Dog' sticker to the side of my bike.

Just chain your dog to the bike. And only feed it when you leave for work/ride etc.

i reckon the brake lock with movement sensor alarm that locks the brake lever in against the go-fast twistie thing would be the way to go if you have to leave your bike - it's visible, loud, and responds to the bike being moved. my bike doesn't get too far away from me, and i live in a small town where everyone knows my bike, so i don't worry about an alarm.

this one at motomail hasn't got an alarm on it, but for $100? cheap visible security

Oh yip, sweet.
So lets see, an alarm with paging capabilities and proximity sensors, a disk lock, and instead of a remote start. Have a remote controlled explosive charge that you can manually disarm before riding. Got your napalm in the tank too.

Muuuhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!

YUP, gotta get me one of those

Sounds like a great idea anyone know where to score them?
Stick one on the cage as well

make little slots in you handel bars on the bottoms when you leave your bike leave little razor blades in the slots, its easy to do and there are no running costs.

Ahh... experience, it's tough
