    Good post, thanks glanlston
    Even though I live in the geriatric gated community I never put my stuff on display
    Coming back with the bike I always coast with the engine off into the garage
    Inside the neighborhood I’m very mellow on the gas
    The bike gets washed in the fenced in back yard, not the front carport
    I don’t open the garage doors if I don’t have too and put the bike at the back where the day light don’t shine on it when I do

    Basically I treat my precious as if it’s (one of) my dirty little secret… :devil:
    Oh, and it helps to have a few retired old navy guys that stay at home as good neighbors :busted:

    :thumbsup:

    Getting inside is one thing....


    Also a good idea to chain things up...you gotta make the buggers work for it..too much fuss and they will go somewhere else :thumbsup:

    but make no mistake if they want it bad enough...yes there going to take it


    now if I could just figure out a way to apply 120V to the locks and chains:smirk:

    My garage doors don't have windows, so I suppose it would make things a little more difficult. Still, worth following glangstons advice.

    Here in Australia, We don't make our garage doors that easy to get in. Our door release is at the back of the door run. so your piece of wire would need to be about 3mtrs long

    After he got his new bike I think he slept in the garage with a loaded gun for while.

    Wow!
    That's an eye opener.

    I have a solid garage door that is always padlocked from the inside. I work from a home office, so I'm basically here 24/7. I have a 90lb dog with a 200lb bark. And I never miss my mark with the 12 gauge!

    Fort PC is on lockdown! (knock on wood)

    PC, I have your bike over here, needed it last night to measure up some stuff so I just took it (did not want to wake you). Tell Fido thanks for all the love, he is a sweet dog. :D

    I've seen the pics. I don't think he has any windows on his garage door though.

    This helps to confirm his belief that someone captured his key code then came back at night and used it to gain entry.

    Worthless dog!
    You should have taken him too :D


    On a not-so related note.....
    A few years ago I took my then-new YZ250 to the dunes and it kept attracting unwanted attention in the hotel parking lot. Since you cant remove the temptation from the thief, I removed the bike from the parking lot

    The hotel owner was not too pleased after the maid ratted me out.

    It really sucks we have to worry about this crap :thumbsdown:

    I wish for all thieves to get long grueling face cancer and then die a painful screaming death.

    A guy I ride with had thieves try to knock out his garage side wall as the doors were too secure and exposed. He heard them and they bolted. But those rotten mongrels will do anything. I believe there is a dedicated bike ring that was just busted north of Sydney. Its about chopping for parts rather than to ride, thats even worse.

    God help them if my wife's home and this happens. Champion deer skinner in her county in Upper Wisconsin. That's after she drills them with the FN 45 she makes smiley's with at the range. ;)
