Agree with Micky on all he's said....Anyway....Where would he move to + it might be "scumbag territory" but sometimes the old thief adage apply's.....Don't sh*t on your own doorstep.

As I ride up 'the backs' I even make sure a car hasn't followed me and stopped at the bottom to see which house the 'bike lives at :eek:

A pal (RIP Melvyne) lived in a lovely house in beautiful countryside ... a car followed him, first he knew was when he saw it stopped at the bottom of his drive. Didn't think much of it, but he did a few days later when it was stolen ... from a detached secure garage with locks everywhere :blast

:beerjug:
 
^ That's very god value for some extra peace of mind ^

Luckily I live in a quiet cul de sac so only a few of my neighbours ever see me drive my bike into/out of the garage
 
Just renewed my insurance on the Super Ten with MCE. Told them no security apart from the standard Yam immobiliser. No alarm, no longer bother with a disc lock. Premium £161.36.

At night it lives in a brick garage with the up and over door bolted from the inside. The attached garage is included in the house alarm circuitry. That's it.

You can spend a fortune on security and if the thieves want the machine none of it will make much difference. They'll bring a battery powered diamond blade equipped angle grinder which will deal with any chain or ground anchor yet created in very little time then pick up your pride and joy and stuff it in the back of a van. If you hear them and try to interfere you'll probably find yourself initially outnumbered and shortly after flat on your back on the floor with a broken nose or worse.

It's a bike, thousands are made every year so not difficult to replace. Don't sweat the minor things that you can't change anyway.

Having said that a bit of common sense can minimize the risks.
 
In South Africa you would be within your rights to install flame throwers and a device that projects CS Gas into the garage, I'd have to install CCTV to watch the footage of the scrotes getting burnt and CS gassed at the same time too. You'd certainly get a few million hits on You Tube

Knowing my luck it would all go off when I was in their cleaning the bike or something, the CCTV footage wouldn't be quite so funny then.
 
hahaha! True!

just ordered the alarm..... i meant to anyway, this thread just reminded me...honest :D

I consider myself lucky that my garage is joined to the house and has a metal roller-shutter door..

Don't kid yourself for a moment that that will deter or disuade anyone who really wants to get in.

The only sure deterrent is the pound of butter in the fridge.

If there's no-one in they'll possibly get it. Other than that they'll have to deal with 2 'on the ball' dogs and if that fails I wouldn't hesitate shooting the cnuts in the legs with the shotgun. Couldn't give a shit if I lose my gun licenses and wouldn't be going to jail for murder. But they sure will have to come armed and determined to get my girl :green gri:mcgun

Can you buy those bean bag bullet things here??
 
Noise is the best deterent alarm on the garage and chain the bike hopefully the noise will make them run off before they have chance to have a go at the bike. If they can get to the bike without making any noise chains wont stop them

The door defender may not work either depending on the design o the door. I know this ... After the event, I fitted Enfield bolts as belt and braces

What's the range of your wireless light / detector thingy by the way?

Chime is under the stairs, and the garage is at the end of the garden, which is around 15m away. So that 3 walls and 15m apart. Drives the mrs mad when I'm pottering in the garage.
 
My insurance wants my bike chained when away from home but does not stipulate what I should chain it to.
At all other times it should be in the locked garage. The lock of course is crap so I have a bolt at the top and it's opened by an electric opener.
I have the various goodies listed so it costs more than £160 someone else mentioned.
Back in early 1990s I had a cheap to run easy to steal Montego diesel that looked like an MG. I fitted a cheap alarm INSIDE the car. It was impossible to sit in there with it going off. Thankfully I never set it off while driving.
Some scrote smashed a window but touched nothing inside.
My point
Put in MORE THAN ONE VERY loud alarm INSIDE the garage with some good ear muffs in the house so you can get to reset it.
