This Is Why My Bike Will Never Get Stolen (Pic)

[koFFey]

Like a lot of people has stated, I've left the keys in mine. I have been lucky. I don't think that I would park my bike in my house though.

The state of your house is the state of your mind!

I thought i was the only one with the Jalopy 2000 Theft deterrence system.

Nope me too. I live downtown and park mine outside... One night i left the keys in it for like 5 hours... I only realised when i was searching around for my keys so i could go ride the bike... And i was like "OH CRAP!" Ran downstairs and unsurprisingly it was still there haha. Thats the worst part about having swipe cards at my apartment though... at work my pass card is on my keys, so i can only ever make it as far as the door before i realise i left my keys in the bike.

No one, they're too busy stealing new sportbikes from underground garages.

might as well make it worth your time.

I've forgotten my keys in mine at work. my bike is old and looks like a jalopy, that's it's theft deterrent.

I've left the keys in mines many times and had people walking by notice it and report it to my workplace. That's how damn ugly my bike is.

edit: just had my driveway blackened so I'm constantly looking out my bedroom window to make sure my bike is still there lol

[ross]

I have 2 bikes in one of the bedrooms and 1 in dining room
in winter 3 of them in 1 bedroom
it does not *****, you do not have to feed it, or go to walk it, or to veterinarian
drain the carbs, drain steel tank and poor oil in for winter, wash it with gas in spring

Yetti almost feels sorry for the Sportbike crew.
you dont see the Hells Angels, Outlaws, banditos, Rock Machine,
etc.. riding around on Sportbikes. theres a reputation attached to the Cruiser.. dont mess with it and cruisers are alot heavier, and bulkier

Actually, I road shotgun once for some "connected" people. We didn't realize once we reached our destination, that I could have been spotted as a runner. The HA use a sport bike amongst them to carry their, let's just say, stuff they shouldn't have. Should the cops bug them, the sport bike bolts. These days tho, they just use cages. The traditional motorcycle gang has gone underground.

any idea what a water bed weighs. + say 2 adults with a combined weight of 300-400 pounds.

Water beds? Are they still around? I thought they went the way of seventies porn (lol). Bow chicka wow...

[bobjohnson]

Dude i love waterbeds. I had one when i was a teenager but when i moved out i could never find an apartment thatd let me use it without buying ridiculously expensive insurance. I've never been able to sleep comfortably on a normal bed since then either, waterbeds ruin me I can sleep for like 15 hours every night in a waterbed lol. Im lucky if i can sleep for 4 hours without waking up on a normal bed, it sucks.

Do you think my bike will get stolen out of my livingroom? I have parked it besides my 50' inch TV for 4 years now. I sleep in peace, trust me.







and here's my secret, a wooden plank allows me to get my bike inside in 5 seconds flat, I have even rode it inside with the engine on.





and you can bet your butt I will park my future Yamaha R6 inside too when I get it.
-

ur not alone..
lol guess where i parked my bike last winter...
i dont think this bike is in a high priority steal list either....but this goes to show how far you would go to have a piece of mind....
no way in hell i was gonna park it in my underground condo garage especially when sumone stole the front left wheel off my carr last summer!!!! EFFIN RATS!!


now that i moved and have my own garage..i wudnt have to go tru this again..whiew!!

Have you seen my bike? it needs a bath and a couple bolts

My aunt & uncle have some, guest rooms too. I like staying at her place when i visit out west.

They can just take your wheels off or load two bikes in at once. It would be better if you can chain it to a post.

I was thinking the same thing, my cousin's $600 bicycle was chained with a $100 tough chain and they simply took the 2 nuts off his front wheel and left the wheel chained to the chain, the bozo should had chained the bike from the frame

You are not married are you?
I have been trying unsuccesfully so far to convince my wife to let my 2 bikes come in the house for the winter; but no luck. I will have to insulate my garage and install a heater before the fall is over...

I'm married and my wife always nags me to take it outside because the gas fumes are "bad" for the kids but sincerely I don't smell the gas fumes if I let the bike cool down for 3 hours outside, we smell gas fumes when we drive and when we fill up with gas, there's no reason to worry.

and Pegasus strikes again, this was like a deja vu for me

A $300 Titanium chain or any lock is no deterent for a thief with the right tools. A good cordless skilsaw with a metal cutting blade will slice right thru no problem.
Theres not much you can do.

Of course any chain can be defeated with the right tools. However, just because a chain or lock can be defeated doesnt mean its not a deterrent. Why would a thief spend more time and subject themself to more risk by cutting a chain when they can EASILY find another bike (probably in the same parking lot) that isnt chained up or doesnt have an alarm? Sounds like a deterrent to me.

Thats the one good thing about the paying for the house and all the bills.....I dont have to ask my ex-wife for permission to do anything.

Fixed.

Greatest invention. Theft Insurance. Affordable and peace at mind, killer.

[Xhumeka]

what do you need the plank for?
you could climb a 24" edge and you wouldn't tell the difference.

I was wondering the same thing - you have a dual-sport, USE IT!

Do you carry the plank with you for offroad trails too, and use it whenever you come to a log???
