Default Re: do you have nitemares of your bike?

When I had my bike parked up at my flat when i was an undergrad at uni, I used to get very worried it would be taken away because it wasnt really very secure (although it was chained to a bucket of concrete). I would get up a few times in the night and just look out the window; if i heard a van or something, I would get up and make sure it wasnt someone coming to have my bike away.

I also got paranoid when it was windy, that my bike would blow over.

Now I have a ground anchor and the car traps the bike in, I don't worry so much. I'll still take a look first thing in the morning, but I dont need to get up at night now

How is your bike secured? Maybe we can help you out a little by suggesting some upgraded security measures?

Dont worry, I dont think your alone on this one!

I washed my bike on Friday night then went round to see the Doris. Went back home Saturday night and the bike was still there on the drive.......with the keys in the ignition.

Used to get worried leaving it outside missleedsmatt place. It was chained to an anchor but I decided to stop riding over after we went for a trip out and despite it been day time someone had removed the cover and pulled the lock to the front. Convinced this meant they were coming back in the night I rode it back to mine and didnt return on it. Cage only, which sucked as parking nearby was a nightmare in its self.

Personally, when our garage was not part of our house at our old house, I worried myself to death and used to leave my window open to listen out for the alarm, even in the winter I would freeze myself, just to know the bike was safe.

Now, the garage is part of the house and is alarmed. If some **** tries to break in, he'll soon meet me and my old boy.
