Who ever steals your new R6 will know you and know you'll be away when they take it.
If they go into people's garages and back yards to get bikes they'll walk in your living room also. Not like you have a steel plated vault door to keep them out, heck it's big enough to get the TV out too.
Get insurance and keep the fumes out of your kids lungs.

Remember, when it comes to theft - it comes down to time and opportunity.
Even when multiple or very advanced security systems/theft prevention systems are used, it really comes down to the opportunity to commit the theft, and the time needed to complete the theft.
In this case, having two bikes tethered together with what appears to be an unbreakable chain, is not wholly unbeatable. It is just unlikely to be defeated. But, a thief with time and resources could do it. Having the proper tools/equipment (generator with angle grinder or a torch setup) and clearly a van to put the equipment and bike into would suffice. Then it only becomes an issue of the time to cut the lock and method to cut it off, both of which can be rehearsed through the purchase of similar locks. The location of the bike and their securing method is static for periods of time, and a thief likely knows this and that they have time to return when appropriate to complete the crime.
Again, these are theft deterrent systems, and are not 100% thief proof. Clearly, as you can see above, it takes little preparation and thought to defeat - only mediocre mechanical knowledge of metals and how to cut/manipulate them.
Using multiple methods of security is the best prevention. One to make the bike virtually immobile. Another to secure it to something equally or more immovable. And another for audible or visual deterrent (IE alarm or disc lock with alarm). The combination will make it near impossible for an amateur thief, and difficult for a professional.

came back and it was still there, lol. 27 year old bike
You may want to read over your tenants insurance or house insurance policy. In most policies it is against the policy to keep automobiles inside the residence due to possibility of exhaust fumes and the fire hazard of keeping a fuel tank inside the house. If it were to cause a fire and your policy does not allow you to keep a motor vehicle inside the living quarters of the residence, you may not be covered.

Make sure youve earned that patch, or sticker. Hells Angels MC have lawyers, and can and will sue for copyright infringement. That would be the least of your problems tho. Have a sit-down with a chapter boss always helps. Hells Angels are sometimes very helpful. ML&R 81's
a H.A.M.C. decal is normally a good deterrent
