Tbh there isnt alot you can do with pikey's if they want to steal it, they more than likely will just ground anchor it and get as many chained locks and a sawn off shotgun to get rid of the imbreds!

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

oh dear, is it locked up?? big chain??garaged
i used to use fishing line tied to the garage door handle fed it thru the roof to a metal scaff pole on the out house so soon as they pulled the door it dragged the bit of scaffold pole off the roof down 10 foot on to concrete floor it made a right ding dongggggggggggggg noise and would of woke the ded in the middle of the night
that noise is enuf to make any thief run off, but if they do it once rig it up different the night after
failing that put it fru bedroom window and tie it to sumet in room that u will hear fall over, jump up n put light on shout im ringin police out window if u dont fancy attackin them with a blunt object

Is it locked in a garage at night? Give us some more details and we can make it as difficult to nick as possible Gates ? Fences? Floodlights, I love the pole on the roof man lol, If you make it more difficult to steal than the bike is worth,they will find something else to steel. Let us know dude ,we're here to help each other

Cameron · Guru

Put some sort of next level rambo trap near it?

GADGET · Guru

+1' Or can you take it indoors ,mine lives in the back room

Grantypanty · DTR Senior Member

like petrol head says... rambo trrap it!
Or get a x security dog i got a german shep x security does the job,
if not just get some barbe wire around your fence, chicken wire scuffed up will also work out fine :)
But who ever lives in your house or is a friend let them know as it will mess their hands up :(
i was just off to holiday for a week 3000klm away from my baby! i had 3 locks on her & put a plank of wood with nails on the otherside of the fence just to make sure haha!

Peace out man, best to be safe then sorry,

I don't think they will bat an eyelid about a bike, there a bunch of scrags lot of them

You could get this, i presume your bike is parked outside at night by where you said something like its two foot from your back door, well this could help you, ive got an xena motion alarm similar to this and its proper loud, better than any motorcycle alarm for home use, even though its powered by aa batteries, get duracel, but you cant say no to xena lol. anyway with this even if your bike is under a cover put the unit underneath so it doesnt get wet, wire the telephone wire to your telephone socket, and then you got an alarm which is loud and will call 3 numbers when its triggered, keep your mobile or house phone close to your bed and your done, obviously you would have to figure out how to hide the telephone wire coming from the unit but might not be that hard...... thats an idea - "Passive Infrared Beam Detects Movement up to 20ft. (6m) Away, 135db siren etc"

Or

Buy an alrite baby monitor, one which can be battery powered, stick it in something waterproof like a box of some description/ (maybe a paint tin with lots of holes lol) and put it under your bike cover or close to your bike if you don't have one, stick the other monitor and place it next to your bed, sorted , when ever they come and if they come im sure there make a bit of noise which will wake you up without them knowing ;)

Seanyftw · Guru

Or swap the monitors over and stay awake. When they come in start screaming down the monitor and watch them **** themselves

GADGET · Guru

I think I need a baby monitor for mine ,I swear I here it crying to be ridden,lol

Energized · DTR Legend

Hahahaha Gadge!

Tbh mate, get yourself some UFC shorts, some gloves and pour some water over yourself....stand outside the front of your house with your fists clenched, and your teeth gritted and look really pissed off, that'll sort it out wink

GADGET · Guru

Yeah man that's it ,but make sure you get the black gum shield for aggro stealth

Reef · Guru

GADGET · Guru

Fair play fella, if my bike was outside with pikey cnuts I would not sleep ,and I would have no teeth left,,,,grrrrrrr

lieutenant-dan · DTR Respected Member

fair enough ur concerned but all thats happend here is some little ****s have clocked your bike just chain it up put a tarp over it and hope for the best plus if it does get chored up u know whos had it

Calum122 · Guru

What i'd do is purposely set off the alarm. What's the situation. Is the bike outside. Have you got a spot light? Can you install a motion spot light for it to come on when it detects motion. Place it under that light.

INSURE THE BÁSTARD FOR TPFT!!!! Best thing you can do.

If you are really really really really really really really (I can't stress enough how paranoid or worried) Paranoid. Take the back wheel off after you use it. Pull the spindal out when you're putting it away. You got a paddock? Just lift it onto the padock and pull the spindal out. Can't rob it without a back wheel.

Calum122 · Guru

Or something like that. Something you can take off in two seconds which renders the bike unridable. Maybe the seat? Two bolts and gone. Or the tank. That's easy enough. If you don't have the rad scoops. Difficult.

Another good thing is to wire up a hidden kill switch in the bike. Take a feed off the existing kill switch and wire up another one hidden. Then you can flick it and off goes the power.

Get an alarm on it mate.

I did and feel so much better when I leave it places. It's steering locked, Chain locked, Disc Locked and a simple LOUD AS FOOK Alarm. Just chirp it and a blue LED tells you, and theifs, it's on.

£20 for the alarm I bought. I'd rate it as a motion sensor. Complex to wire in the immobiliser. It's jus an added defense.

That one there. I'd recommend it for the money. It is not alot and it packs a hell of a punch. Plus the key fobs are darn right sexy :)

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

Just get a pet Hedgehog dude, my little baby is savage!

Calum122 · Guru

Awww You could make a home for it on the seat. So when the feckers sit down it could spike them.

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

yeah boyyy or they see how cute it is and do one

DTCrazedKid · DTR Senior Member

place a few shotguns facing your bike, tied with string, an if it moves, BANG TEEF IS DED
