I've got BikeTrac. The only thing I think they lack is an app but your phones web browser does show the map and location just fine. Disable the bike down alerts though as they go off far too easy and you'll panic the missus.
Yep. And it's not just a recent thing. In 2003 and before the days of Almax exposing the woeful quality of most other chains, I had a 748 stolen from outside my house. The police were singularly uninterested despite one of my neighbours seeing it happen at around 4am, although why she didn't call 999 was a f'king mystery. I ended up writing a letter to the Inspector at the local police station and CC'd Uncle Tom Cobley and all, up to and including the Met Police Commissioner and the Home Secretary. In it I suggested, amongst other things, that the Met should change their strap line from "Working for a safer London" to "What do you expect us to do about it?". I thought nothing more about it until no less than 5 months later I got a knock on the door one afternoon and found two sheepish detectives on my doorstep, asking if they could come in to take a witness statement from me. Once I had got over the shock of finding two policeman asking for me out of the blue, the gist of the story was that someone somewhere had had their arse kicked as a result of my letter and they now had the thankless and embarrassing task of trying to solve the crime!

22mm thick links and no room for bolt croppers to operate as bike and wall are either side of chain and wall plate-(not fully secured yet). It's all about the buggerence factor. More time spent trying to cut the bike out means more chance of being detected. A very loud disc cutter will go through chain/bike. But 'going equipped' is obvious with one of those up your jumper
After having that bike stolen in around 2004, I discovered Almax, although that didn't stop some hoodlums nicking my 996S, as they cut through the frame spar it was looped through and left the chain and lock intact. :Rage: Your set up looks good, although I suspect that someone might be able to have a good crack at levering the whole shebang off the wall using a heavy crowbar behind the plate (which is relatively quiet and crowbars are also easy to conceal)
Zhed46, I agree with the crowbar scenario but the Pragmasis chain/lock combo is only one security device I use. It would be silly to name and show all the methods I use Down Rover...............
I have a mills grenade pin out wedged under the rear wheel ...when they wheel it away karrrboooommmbb
I use these trackers, two on each bike, PAYG SIM card, no other fees. Device tells you when the bike has some movement or vibration shock, user configurable. Thanks for the tip on the petrol station steering lock thing... Might just prevent arse ache. tk102 | eBay
Scumbags are very inventive. I've never heard of this before. If I'm not using a pay at the pump, I'll make sure to put the steering lock on from now on.
