Theft prevention

[orionburn]

Ok guys...looking for some advice, suggestions and what-not on how to keep the ol' girl safe.<br><br>Sometime in the next few months I will more than likely be back to being an apartment dweller. I'm looking at renting a house if I can find one cheap enough. If not, then more than likely that means no more garage <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Most of the apt complexes that I'm looking at it don't offer a garage space. Most have car ports/coverings, but no means of actual lock up.<br><br>Just wondering what the best options are for keeping the bike safe. Are alarms really worthwhile? Locks? Honestly I think if somebody's intent is to steal the bike then they're going to steal it regardless of what you do. Even if it's got a lock on it a couple guys would still be able to carry it off.<br><br>Can't be like those crazy Brits and keep it in my living room <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> (j/k guys!). Btw...doesn't it make the room somewhat smelly with the bike in there?? <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:navy;">Nate - 87 FZR1000</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:navy;">Have <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>you</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> seen my fairing?

wow ...that's pretty neat and affordable too...it isn't one of those pen-nonproof locks though? just kidding...what company was that that the vids were going around last year of people busting the locks with a bic pen? I saw a report that that mishap caused the company billions in loss...b/c a) they finally gave in and recalled all the locks, b) they had to stop production on their current products/locks and couldn't ship to merchants!n DOH <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-family:century gothic;font-size:medium;">Nbot</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:green;font-family:century gothic;font-size:small;">'94 Fizzer Litre</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-size:small;">This is your sig on drugs....</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>
