Bike theft prevention.

My brother has pit bulls, I call them "Land Sharks". Arigato yours are land sharks also. Man if your dogs get ahold of a burglar when your out of town there would not be anything left of the guy when you get back.

Alan, here's a company about 5 miles from me that has all kinds of video stuff. You have to have a sales tax number to buy from them. Most of their business is mail order.

I've been pretty fortunate. Don't lock down, but keep in a locked garage. Never worried about it really. But, if that is the case. I have 3 shot guns (12 guage, 16 guage and a 20 guage), more riffles than I can count, and a birds eye aim. I have no fear in shooting a scumbag. My dad tought my family to shoot first and ask questions later. I've had my KX250 nearly stolen before, but was at a gas station.

Hmmm. High tech gadgets like a lo-jack would be great but you would have to have a tracking unit that could find it anywhere.. big job to accomplish.
Guns, dogs, explosives, 16 penny framing nails that pop out of the seat into the buttocks of the thief when the bike is outside of its maximum safe operating area... those sound much more fun :evil:
Get some insurance on your bike. Upgrade your homeowners policy with a rider/addon to cover it if it doesn't already. Upgrade your vehicle insurance the same to cover it when you are on the road. Did you know that most insurance policies won't cover your bike if it is stolen out of the bed of your truck? Did you know that if you were to wreck your truck and total it and the bike, the bike won't be covered? Did you know that even if you have the extra insurance on the bike in the back of your truck and that if it is not disabled (keys not in ignition) and locked up (chain/padlock) that you can be denied if it is stolen also? That goes for at home as well. Another suggestion to everyone, get your deductibles down to $100 and make sure to get your policy in hand and reviewed. Don't always trust your insurance agent to have heard what you wanted and to do the right thing. It is big business and the will find the red tape/loop holes in the stuff they do for a living, trust me.
Anyways, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
