If you had a gren card to make any security system you want.

Somewhat realistic possability...

QTC perimeter linked via encoded RF to the bike's immobiliser. Set the perimeter warning off, and you cant start the bike. In the case of it getting lifted, that's more tricky. Only realistic solution I've seen is a GPS/GPRS via GSM/VHF/UHF tracker, and they're actually mighty expensive, but even tell you where they are inside locked metal containers.

Unrealistically, and ideally, kind of related to the above, only not a spike, a generator tied into the engine that kicks roughly 5000V at something silly like 40kW through the bars and framework. Touch my bike & die fool!

Also, an idea I had from a previous project of mine, alarm linked to a mobile phone. Alarm sets off, phone establishes a connection to you (after connecting via GPRS to send an email alert). If the connection fails, you can always dial into it. The phone is then linked back to the bike controls, and is able to kill the engine, start it, accellerate, brake, alter steering position, maybe even change gears... all via DTMF. That could have Health & Safety implications in today's PC world (not the computer shop!) though. "Bike kills theft trying to steal it" Granted what they deserve, but the legalities of it?

If anyone does have some spare cash to secure a bike, I've designed buildings security systems before now, so wouldn't complain at a crack at a vehicle system

I would put the key in a safe, in a plastic bag, wrapped up in an old t-shirt and put the whole lot in the toolbox in front of the rear suspension.


I read ED-209, but I thought RoboSapien. Is that close enough?

A large wattage power invertor wired to the frame.

MIB dummy driver

Ignition switch to the tank so when they hot-wire it, it will blow up

mercury switched bomb, works like car alarm the switches off when being towed except it triggers a flame thrower instead.

I could go on but anything that would cause permanent injury or decapitation

Actually, this is an interesting idea. To prevent bike crime, you have to make it difficult, or unappealing. Their are two types of bike crime.

1. Vandalism/theft of parts

2. Theft of entire bike.

So here are my ideas

1

A good alarm, with an electric shock system with suitable audible warnings.
A steel wire reinforced cover, attached to the bike at several points.

2.

A good alarm, only this time after a certain period the bike explodes a smoke bomb. This releases a dense cloud of smoke that is impossible to see through, filling the cab of the van it's now in, and preventing the theives from driving.
A good alarm that explodes a dye pack, idelibly marking the theirves and van it's now in.
An obscenly large ground anchor that locks directly to the bike frame. I'm thinking a 3" thick reinforced loop that you park over, and turn to lock into the bike frame. Cut the loop and you'll be there hours, cut the frame and the bike is significantly degraded in value.

Any good?

3 Stages to security

1) Visable Notification of security system.

This is achieved using lasers and cameras, probably 4 units.

The lasers draw a pattern (box, grid) on the ground - pattern is adaptive.

When pattern is 1st initialised or after a change the camera system learns what the pattern should look like. and any change to this pattern will trigger alert.

Pattern changes at random intervals.

2) Warning

Spoken warning that "The alarm system is alarmed, please step away from the vehicle" accompanied by a beep every 2 seconds for 20 seconds - not enough to annoy the neighbours but so that anyone nearby knows the system is in stage 2

Lights under the bike come on illuminating it - making it obvious that the bike is "unhappy"

3) Activated

All hell breaks loose - the lights that came on low now strobe, sirens sound, the voice tells them to "Step away from the Vehicle NOW!" would probably stop short of playing MP3's of automatic gun-fire tho.

Alarm armed/disarmed in usual manner - ie Key-Fob.

I would just like to offer this thread some love, peace & happiness.

I would offer a hug to anyone that wanted to nick my bike, thereby allwoing them to see the error of their ways & being a reformed & productive member of society.

Hugs, people. It's the way forward.

I think the real Kinvig is in a space ship in orbit being an@lly probed as we speak.

Certainly it seems like thats what this replicant needs :P

More on tracker chips.

Then set up and a bike bound security hit squad that is responsible for busting the crooks - not the cops. I.e. Use other bikers to track down the crooks.

Offer the security business out as a business franchise so it can become national network of bikers looking out for bikers.

I would pay for the security chip if I knew other bikers were actively out looking for my bike as soon as it had been nicked. I would also be happy to go out and track down a bike if I knew it was in my area.

I would have a containment room that rose from the ground, surrounding both my bike and the theif upon it being tripped.

Then, using a chemical reaction, toxic gasses would fill the resulting room, suffoctaing and potentialy killing the theiving bastered.

Or something like that
