 | Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? Bolt cutters? You should see their series-IV chain! EACH link is thicker than my fingers! My friend bought this 2 metre long one and for a laugh I draped it over my neck, like you would with a snake at a zoo.... I was not strong enough to lift it over my head again.... Talk about getting trapped under the bike (chain)!!!  |

| Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? I have a 8 foot aircraft cable. The ones on aircraft carriers that the plans hook onto to stop. Also I have an 150 pound Akita and a 140 pound Doberman. I live in a high crime area. If you can afford it I would say to build a shed with a steel door and buy a dog. I had a bike alarm but it annoyed me going off in the middle of the night for no reason. They prob have more advanced alarms now but a solid shed and dog should ward off most burglars. |

| Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? Pretty much everything has been said. Just make it harder than the next guy's bike. If yours is the hardest they'll leave it alone. The shed with a dog is probably the best all around but at some point you have to go places away from your house. Then paging alarms and full coverage insurance is the best option. I know the original poster said he couldn't afford full coverage. That's what I originally thought. The first quotes I got for full coverage from Geico and Progressive were both over $1400 a year when liability was only $400. Then I went to State Farm and have full coverage for only $153 a year. It gives me the best piece of mind. |

| Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? When I didn't have a house w/ a garage i would pull my bike up as close to the house as possible and pull my truck up so there was no room to move the bike. At hotels i'd just pull the bike into the room. ( Management hates that BTW) If you want to get fancy, just rig up another spark plug into your seat w/ a relay switch, so if your bike is boosted atleast the thief's jewels will get fried. |

| Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? For any U.K guys looking at installing a tracking device I would strongly suggest that you go for the Tracker brand as at least 2 or 3 police forces I know of (Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire) all have the locator devices in their Traffic and Dog Section vehicles so if the bike or car is moving they can chase after it without having to be directed to the vehicle via radio or telephone. Cheers Stephen |

| Re: best ways to keep a bike from being stolen? my recommendation is to hook up a 4 farad capacitor that charges of your stator and then connect it to the clutch lever... they wont need a reason to get off the bike they will fly off lol  |
