Your bike security - SV650.org

the_lone_wolf · 17-07-09, 09:11 AM

So, my new bike has an alarm fitted by the previous owner, wouldn't normally use one so it's more of a novelty than necessity for me, but it got me thinking about what we use to secure our machines from the tea-leaves...

Personally I've always relied on the garage and a good postcode to keep it planted, but what do you choose (or need) to use to stop yours disappearing?

Voted - and you missed out "I have an immobiliser" (but not an alarm)

Unless we are counting KeithD as an Immovable Object...

D'oh, it was on the list on my desk here

Assume "Alarm" means "Alarm and/or Immobiliser" for now

Voted, mine is garaged in a low crime area, with a disklock and chained to a ground anchor, when out an d about its an alarmed disc lock and almax chain.

I also regularly invite folks with more expensive bikes park next to me.

I have an alarm, however i cant switch it on as the trains rumbling past set it off, so the imobiliser is the only thing on it. My SV is almost 9 years old, painted blue and signal orange has one off parts,and over 60k on the clock. If some donut is stupid enough to knick it then good luck. its insured and possibly hard to get rid of. Other than that, its under a stormex cover

I use the condition and paint job as security. Anyone that has seen Bucket will know what I mean.
