How to park, secure and protect your bike, whether at home or on the street????
I just bought my new bike, pick it up saturday, I was wondering what ways can I use to secure the bike whether I'm parked at home or on the street???
alarms,
locks,
Lojack
chains?

park in a garage. if outside cover it, put locks on the rims and ALWAYS lock the steering. you can get an alarm/tilt sensor but if someone wants your bike there is really no defence other than the above stated. do a search in motorcycle forum, there is a lot on this. Good Luck!

the glock 30; small enough for conceal carry yet large enough to do some damage.
although a garage would suffice just fine...

No matter how hard I try, I can't open mine with a BIC. And its pissing me off!! Can mine be BIC-proof?
I use an alarm w/impact sensor and tilt sensor, as well as my Kryptonite on my front brake disc (mostly cause the fronts a lot heavier than the back). And if all else fails... AAA full coverage baby! Or my Benchmade in his back

Garage or Gun?
I got my Glock 26 for $569 + tax
Lovin it! Total concealment under most everything I wear.

in nyc its the same, you have a better chance of getting struck by lighting 2x on the same day, than getting approved for a concealed weapon permit

gun or garage is my vote too. i wont live anyplace without a garage. i dont let my bike sit anywhere really when i go out. I just ride around then ride home. i dont go to the mall or anything.

You don't unless your current law enforcement, or you have the right answers.

if i had something like an rc211v or something, sure. but 600rr's are replaced easily enough by insurance; gps seems pretty pricey.
