With all of the thievery becoming so commonplace I was just wondering who has stepped up the game?
1). I run a 1" thick anchor chain through my frame.
2). I have an alarm and video in my garage.
3). 2-100+lb dogs cruising my entirely fenced property.
4). Motion lights that glare into my master bedroom when they go on at night.

You being in the high desert have to be extra careful with all the tweekers around. Those mother efffers will steel anything that they can get there hands on!

If they try to come in my house they will get to meet my Rott Zoey and if we are not home and if we are home they better hope they get to meet Zoey.
i.e. a lot of us post with pride what nice bikes we have, what days and hours we are at work/gym/race track, location can be easy if not directly posted and now security!
Just a thought
pro thieves are known to use such apparatus as the fire service...think jaws of life...to either crush, pry or simply crunch through anything you can think of like locks, doors, walls even!
Pit Row
I put a bed sheet over my bikes in the garage...so nobody can reconize them
I have a cable going through the wheels....
I don't advertise my bikes to the neighbors and SHOW THEM OFF on the driveway...
When I had them on my driveway washing and working on them guys would drive up and want to talk and shoot the shit at the same time looking in my garage at all my bikes, machines, tools, etc. so I stopped
$74 a year insures my 2008 yz 250 that I paid $3,000 for in 2010. With additional coverage of $4,000 in aftermarket parts for a measely three whole dollars ($3) more, I got a kelly blue book + $4,000 policy from an insurance company.
When's the last time you guys sold a bike for blue book + $4,000?
Insure your shit!
You can never guarantee total security, but human nature being what it is (even for scum thieves), if you make it as hard as possible then they'll always be more inclined to go for an easier target. In my country bike security is an absolute MUST! We have a huge problem with motorcycle thefts over here. I have great security myself but I'm a fool for letting my insurance lapse... really should get round to that.
I trust insurance companies as much as thieves
Insure your bikes.
I guess be careful what you wish for because the set up I had on my bike and the TLC I put into it is not worth the damn money that i'm recieving. It ran awesome and now some fucker has it.
Ok not really, garage is locked and alarmed and I live in a very rural area, never given it a lot of thought.
If they somehow manage to get around that, I have the real big guns on the inside..........
