If they really want it they will take it. Nothing will stop them unless its a bullet. Most things just slow them down so they come back with acouple of people and lift it away.

thats it, i have insurance because nothing can stop them...sure spend all the money in the world on it and they'll still take it, unless you have a bikeboot or something along those lines i hear those are preaty nuts, but you have to bolt them into concrete, wouldn't hurt if you were allowed to do that, my starta would throw my *** out if i did.

Insurance is your best bet.

Throw as many chains and locks as you can on the bike to tie it to a stationary object.

i have a motion sensivite and voltage alarm, so if bike is moved up off the stand, or ignition is messed with it goes off... it would be impossible to lift it away. Ialso park it next to my bedrrom window, so bike is physicaly 3 feet away when i sleep ,so if the alarm goes off i hear it.

my first bike, im 18 and i payed for it myself.. worked ****** hard too... its a 2004 GSX-R 600 bone stock with 2000 miles on it... I cant afford full coverage (i onyl got liability cause its only 180 dollars a year on my parents policy) , so im going to do everything i can to make sure no one takes something i worked so hard for.

i also put a cover over it too, so people driving by, dont notice what kind of bike it is... as people love to steal sportbikes around here rather than crusiers.

I use a disc lock when its sitting anywhere for more than a few minutes and I can't see it. Otherwise, they sleep in my garage.
