Security

[Slowrideiowa]

Here's a simple and inexpensive way to scare off would be thieves. The disc alarm lock. Take a look.

 

[G19Tony]

I think I have one on my list.

When I was travelling long distance I carried an empty holster and just laid it on the seat when I was off the bike. No one ever touched a thing.

That is badass, ordering holster shortly.

You'll be amazed, people will keep a good distance from your bike.

ive never had issues but then again all my stuff is garage kept, 2 big dogs and guns and cameras and good neighbors. However, out and about, never an issue either. disc alarm will scare most off. Regarding thefts of groms and such, it was rampant in the uk , bike theft is a big problem there.

I’ve been singing this song since post 5!

pretty good product, the challenge is can you get the key in and unlock it before it screams to much!

I'm doing the Scooter Cannonball Run from Bar Harbor, ME to Eureka, CA., 12-21 July on Ruby, my CT125.

Here's the plan:
Depart Washington State with Ruby on a hitch rail carrier behind my 2006 Dodge Sprinter van RV. Once the race starts, my wife will meet me every evening at an RV park or motel within 1-5 miles of the nightly check-point. So I don't have to carry all my gear, just tools and stuff. My plan is to roll Ruby in the motel room if I am on the first floor. She fits out my man-door in my garage so . . . Not terribly worried about security at RV parks. They are usually safe. I am going to pick up a disc lock. Will deter most chuckle-heads.

I have many miles in the saddle on my GS, mostly, and I NEVER worried about it being stolen. I am way more worried about Ruby being kidnapped. I need to figure out how to cable lock her to my carrier when hitched.

I'm not worried about my bigger bikes being taken. The 125 would be a quick two man lift, and toss into the truck.

Hey Tony,

Matt from Invoxia here.

We've only been on market in the U.S. for a couple months, so I'm happy to see that our trackers are finding a home in the 125 community.

I'd love to hear about your experience using the tracker in Vegas. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Best,
Matt

@MattNVX are you willing to offer a discount for us forum members?

Did someone already mention that it would be difficult for two people to carry this bike? If so, wouldn't locking the steering to full left pretty deter theft?

 

[AstroStrat89]

I've been pondering this myself as a noobie bike owner. I'm thinking that when my wife and I are out (she has a Super Cub) we could just chain them together making it impractical to lift into a truck and the SC has an alarm system. The disc lock seems like it would be pretty effective. If someone wants to steal it they will find away, Its more about preventing the crimes of opportunity.

 

[Fun4me]

I live in the sticks, with a mile long driveway, two bulldogs and a mean wife. I leave the key in mine.

What's your address? And what kind of steak do your dogs like?

 

[r80rt]

You have to take a Wrong Turn to get to my place, and the hills have eyes ya know. Oh, the dogs are partial to Long Pig They are a funny hairless breed, in fact they were alligators before we cut their tails off.

I just received this today: https://www.invoxia.com/us

A cat on FB has one, and we messaged back and forth awhile about it. I got if from Amazon $136, with a two year subscription. $39 per year after that. I also put Comp and Collision on it.

That's a great idea. T-Mobile sells a similar item for about $65 with service for $5/month. It's called SyncUp. Here's more info: https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/syncup-gps-tracker-device

My YOHOOLYO Disc Alarm arrived today. On inspection, the $25.99 investment through Amazon appears to be of pretty good quality. Hopefully I'll never have to find out how well it works.

 

[AZ7000']

They work great, careful on windy days! My goal is to get the key in and unlocked before the alarm goes off

 

[Kritou]

A lightweight cover keeps the rain and eyes off - would the low life rip a cover off on the off chance it is something of interest?

Hi, I'm terribly sorry. This thread completely slipped my mind and I've only just now caught up.

To answer your question, YES, I'd love to set something up for the 125 community. I'm going to open a separate thread and include all the details.

I live in a pretty low crime area. Sometimes I even forget to take the key out of either my CT or my Monkey.
If we got a forum deal, I would buy one of these though... I could probably think of a lot of things I would like to hide em in!

 

[MattNVX]

@mysticbus I created a new thread the other day but it seems it's still awaiting mod approval! In the interim, I'm going to paste it below!
