848 Bike Security

Physical...dont be one of those guys at the local bike meet with the alarm going that you cant switch off!

Roadlok's get one of those to start with (absolutely brilliant) have them on all 3 of my bikes. Then chains and what not afterwards...

 

Happens without fail every year at the TT....some bloke trying to get his bike started....while...the alarm is going off on the docks and all the bikes and cars are loaded on...theyre just more hassle than theyre worth....last 2 bikes ive had have had alarms on them....first job i do....get the alarm off....

 

Alarms are a waste of time and can cause problems. Physical security every time.

 

+1 For roadlok
+1 For Almax chain (not portable)

 

I think theres a lad on here that sells them a bit cheaper....

 

Yip almax chain and ground anchor, or pragmasis chain and ground anchor, the only two brands worth buying, look at the almax video wall of shame about how easy it is to crop all the other welknown brands

I have four almax chains (3 x 19mm/3 metres / 1 x 16mm/2 metres) for long term security and all the ducati's have alarms fitted when out and about

 

#If they want it they'll take it,the point is to slow them down ready for the cavalry to arrive

 

Get disc locks too, I put one on each disc.

Yes it's a pain but has to be done.

 

If it's a up and over garage door maybe a couple of these

 

And put two pragmasis ground anchors in the concrete floor with two almax or pragmasis chains, try to chain it down through the frame and not through the wheels, as you might end up with just the wheels left, and put a very loud alarm connected to garage door, pragmasis also does a swing arm pin to go with their locks and chains, very good!

I've used these on up and over garage door... Spot on

 

These do a good job... but they do advertise to everyone that there is something inside to steal...

Definately Almax or Pragmasis 19mm Chain and Pragmasis Torq ground anchor.

As has been said the Roadloc disc lock

I would suggest that on the inside of the door to the garage - you reinforce the frame fixing and on the frame of the door where you can add angle iron / aluminium to strengthen door... fixed in a way that is discrete..

I assume there is no rear axis to allow you to secure the up and over door from the inside?

If not.. then the above type locks are probably best option.. fix 2 towards the edges... but not tight to the edge.. so that the wheels of the car can just fit around the 2 brackets left on the floor... so they are approx 4'6" centres..
