Dynabolt a ground anchor to the road where you park. Chain and lock through the back wheel. Disc lock for the front wheel PLUS a reminder cord thingy so you don't forget to remove it before riding off.

Insurance

no, guns are fucking awesome. and a great deterrent to thieving cunts.

most bike thefts aren't "chucked in a van" - they're two dudes rolling up on a bike, one hopping off the back, hotwiring your ride and cracking your steering lock, and two dudes riding off.

Join a Motor Cycle club that has a clubroom/pad where your bike can live when not in use.

When I am AWOL the scoot has an alarm that disables the electronic ignition module.

Failing that Mr 12 gauge is a good friend of mine.



During the day my scoot is chained to the floor in my workshop. The workshop is a solid concrete building with a big heavy sliding door with a steel reinforced judas door. The windows have heavy bars fitted and the building has a monitored silent alarm.

for one, the nokia c5-00 does, through a program called "f-secure", you can remotely do diddly on the phone, lock it with password, delete your data, get current GPS location, or make alarm go off. i'm sure there'll be an app for most phones in a similar vein,

elsewise jaycar have some black box alarm kits which require a SIM and plots it's movement on googlemaps...

...as usual...full of shit...you ever presented a gun at someone...wanker...

if they want your bike, they are going to take it or trash it..

do a flyer drop and see if anyone has a garage to rent,
I rent the old blokes garage down the road from me as
he does'nt drive any more, plus i look in on the old bugger
and make sure he's ok too..

Yep. Find a way to get the bike off the road, move house or sell it for some cheap shit that you don't care about. A cover will do fuck all as the person who wants it will know where you park it every night, they will have followed you home or seen you putting the cover on. If they want it they will have it - been there, done that and it is not a great feeling to look out the window and see a space where you parked the bike an hour before.

Get a sensor alarm if you fancy running out the house in the nude to tackle a couple of thieving bastards who are tooled up. Get GPS if you fancy finding the thing in bits on the 23rd floor or in a hedge somewhere. Or get somewhere to park it off the street.

Fuck. What is that scraping noise? Quick, look out the window.

Paranoid yet?

A good GPS tracker WILL do elevation. How do you think they use GPS for Horizontal (LNAV) and Vertical (VNAV) navigation on aeroplanes? So the 23rd floor problem is non-existent. GPS tracking is definitely a good option.

You think aeroplanes use GPS for Vnav ever heard of IRS?

Had a read of the lot there. As a result I will not have any bike bits posted home anymore.

Yes I have (having sat all my ATPL licence exams), however during instrument flight, especially light aircraft, they can also use GPS for VNAV (although it isn't approved in NZ currently). The Aircraft I flew for my instrument rating did not have an IRS, but was capable of GPS VNAV, completely independent of the barometric altimeter.

I'm liking the idea of renting someone's garage, think I'll go that route. I'm not riding the new bike at the mo - it needs some work to get it on the road but my main concern about riding it is the fact that I often have to leave it out in public (it's a 35 year old thing so I might actually just be paranoid, dunno if people steal uncommon old bikes). But I worked hard for the cash and a fair amount of sweat and effort will go into doing it up so having it nicked is the last thing I want. Will do a flyer drop to see if I can find a garage. Thanks for the tips guys.
