Any new ideas how to stop bike thefts?

So you want to have it stolen you mean?

Why would anyone want to steal a Hyosung?

Teach yer kids to respect other people's stuff. 20 years time - no problem.

Not sustainable long-term. The more "respectful" you are to other people, the more you get taken advantage of.

A "healthy" balance is in order, like always show respect, but whack any cnut who tries to steal shit.

Install one of these:

I'm sure I've said it before on another post, but surely we could invent a way to electrify a bike when it's not in use, so if anyone touches it ... BAM ... they go flying! hehe (yes I understand due to the electronics on a bike, this is more then likely impossible, but it would be great if it could be done!!)

Gps tracker and a shotgun.

What type would that be? I know re infra red ones and beam ones, but I am not sure any of them would be able to be fitted on the bike and used when parked in public? Yes, you can have it set up in the garage, but I would think thats about it?

This is the Talon one I was referring too:

I like Talon because they don't need installing, they just plug into the bike's ECU port. I am just waiting for tjhem to bring out the paging version with all the other bits. Apparently it will be with us by the end of the year. I just hope the thiefs can wait.

If you're going to a shop, push it alongside you as you browse the loot in stores, and at home, wheel it into your bedroom and put a silk cover over it.

Bolt it to the floor of a double walled, extra thick steel, electrified garage, dyna bolted into hardened concrete with hardened bull chains, chain two rabid starved dobermans near it and sleep above it in the rafters with a sawn off, fully loaded pump action Mossberg shotgun.

That just might do it

Just for good measure.... have the mother in law stationed at the door.

It'll never happen though. It's always someone else's fault.

What about simply electrifying the grips with an electric fence unit until the key is in the ignition?

Would sure be funny to watch.

I reckon the power cord to the mains'd be a giveaway...

A couple of niggas with shotguns should do the trick.

i think if a couple bike thieving assholes get killed and eaten by a pack of bikers it would slow down considerably

Tonight on my way home from work I drove through the part of Manurewa where the guy stabbed the tagger.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the case there is not much tagging to be seen there these days.

Not saying bike thieves should be killed but there has to be a punishment severe enough to stop most people doing it. Kids are walking away from the courts laughing at the system. Today's shoplifter turns into tomorrow's bike stealers or worse.

there was a campaign in london for a while called lock to me.. or something similar.
The basic idea was for bikes parked in city center bays to daisy chain there chains together. So when you arrived you looped your chain through a neighbouring bikes chain.

If the other bike returned first, he simply unlocked his chain and unthreaded it from yours... (hope this makes sense).

the aim was to stop guys pulling up in vans and lifting bikes into the back. If everyone did it, maybe the entire bike bay would be daisy chained and it would be impossible to lift a single bike...

great idea i think.
