i have a xena one - it has alarm stickers all over it. and it's fucking LOUD. and super sensitive. it has the same 'x' as the one you're advertising, andrew.

it goes off when it rains. it goes off when a car passes by. it goes off when a person passes by. it goes off if you put it on a funny angle. it goes off when you put it on, and when you take it off. it goes off if it's in a bad mood.

having said that, every time it goes off i am simultaneously filled with stultifying embarrassment and a calm satisfaction that the alarm WORKS! & that potentially a lurking thief has just crapped him/herself.

i would like to buy an extra one from you, especially if it has a sensitivity control, unlike mine. it is also important that it has alarm stickers, because this will deter some stupid kid amateur from messing with your bike.

...imagine if we all got one each... everytime a car passes by the unifying siren of motorbike alarms will shake city campus with the warcry of disgruntled SMCers. phwoar.

please order 1x for Rie's GPX; she will pay $50-$70 max.

hoping it will be a cunt for them to get through..and i park it soo thieves see the chain and hopefully makes them change their mind about fuckin with the hornet..maybe ill put a laminated sign on the hornet saying " this bike has a homing device linked to my computer..steal my bike and il come at u with a hacksaw and tear away your knees"..too angry?? FUCK NO..!

what we need are SMC logos (Secure & Manhunt Co) with above message, printed for members' bikes.

that may just tempt them to try... it's like the challenges u see in the movies (oceans 11, but smaller scale). haha. ya, the lock's pretty mint otherwise... plus, just do what i do... lock it through the fork and the frame! it's a double whammie... what are they gonna do? cut through the frame to get the bike? haha... chances are they'll bugger off elsewhere! but i'm thinkin this brakelock is not too bad either... never hurts to have a bit extra... considering it, but wil stick to what i have for now... does the job alright.

haha.. below that sticker put... "signed, Rob Norris (head of security)". a name that'd make any man wet himself....

might have a look at yours then to see exactly how touchy it is
