secure-a-bike

Did a search, but not much mention of this thing.

http://www.secure-a-bike.com/producten.html

Anyone have any experience of this garage...or know anyone who has? Seems to be pretty much bulletproof and I am very tempted into getting for the following reasons...

1) Seems totally secure
2) Only one I have seen that can go across a slight slope (angle adjusters or something inside)
3) I live in London...with no garage...and want a new bike. It will get nicked in seconds, I'm sure of it!!
4) A 2008 cbr600rr will cost me an extra £293 on insurance as long as it's garaged...I daren't ask them what it would be without it!!

Just wondering if anyone has seen/touched/experienced one. I know they were at the NEC recently so got some exposure there.

Bad points...

1) It's £1650 (so if anyone knows any top notch alternatives, please shout!)

a mate has his gsxr750 in one of these garages & he swares by it

That's what I've got (bikesafe). Great bit of kit.


I looked at the ones from secure-a-bike before I got the bikesafe. It;s not very high, so you can't really walk in it - i've got a little bench in at the end of mine so I can work on stuff inside, in the dry. Also, the pull our bed means you need the lenght of the shed again to slide it out - if that makes sense.

Hope this helps

try yard master sheds.. they are metal sheds.. not as secure, but some insurers will cllass it as a garage,

So you will get the insurance discount... call and ask though...

Thx all for the advice. The main reason I am leaning towards the secure-a-bike unit is that it can be fitted on a slight slope and also doesn't require ground anchoring as it's so damn heavy. All the other ones, as good as some are (esp. bike safe) appear to need anchoring and I can't do that where I am...and also look like they might be slightly lop sided on a slope of a few degrees, therefore unstable.

You're parking a shed over it, they won't notice untill you move out

haha yeah very true and perhaps that had crossed my mind a teeny bit

but I won't vandalise what is not mine. that would make me the same as the scum who nick bikes. sort of anyway. i'm just an honest kind of guy...annoying really
