Default What do you use: Theft Protection?

Well the world is about to open up to me i hope financially, and this is a question I've always pondered...other then the cheap Krypto lock i've had since my bike riding days around Univ of Arizona campus, what do you use to protect your self against the "bad man"?

Most people just use there garage. Outside of there, I think if the thief wants it bad enough he is going to take it. Get insurance my friend.

Yea it sucks, plus if i were you i' would'nt ride in tuson unless you like to run the risk of cooking your self, not joking. Friend went down while learning during the fall semester of 98 (my freshman year), watching skin bubble is fugly. Save your bike leave it in jersey and get some nice a/c...p.s. i left tucson becase i had a gun drawn on me every semester i was there, your car gets stolen, its either A) ditched like if it was found inthe river or b) in mexico.

Not joking one bit....i say give arizona back to mexico w/ an apology. Phx is cool, but rule of thumb...AND LEARN THIS DON'T DATE A GIRL FROM AZ, CUZ THEY ARE MESSED UP IN THE HEAD....and over a sample of 100 girls through my friends we've proved this. They might be fine, playboy models, and all on the grils gone wild movies...but that is their natural defense to reproduce..EVOLUTION IS A BITCH.
I wouldn't ride a motorcycle in AZ if my life depended on it.. the light system is totally fucked up. Like for example in Tucson you have 3 *not 1, but 3* lanes turning left against traffic w/ no left turn light...you can actually predict when an accident is going to happen.
If you decide to actually ride in AZ, my prayers go out to you and your family for thier loss

yeh just park it in a garage, and insure it, if it get stolen then its not so bad cause you can get it replaced...bikes arn't like cars...they don't really get setimental value (unless its a harely or something) but most streebikes are very easily replaced.

I like it, but there's no replacement for a 12 gauge with bean bags, pepper spray, taser, and handcuffs...

I know i would be way more pissed if someone stole my bike then my car. But then again, i only have liability on the bike so thats probably y.

I let my zipties/cracks do their job and protect my bike when its out and my garage takes care of it during the nights
