Reminds me of an idea I had to prevent my computer from getting
stolen.

Thefts would be surprised to find my computer not too fast to steal.
It would be in a steel frame attached to a bigger steel frame that
doesn't fit through the doorway.
All that steel will be tough to steal.

You do know they make security cable systems for PCs and their peripherals?
schools often use them.

Ahh.. Then a cable to attached to a steel cage.
That way, I don't have to make holes in the walls to run a cable
around a wooden stud in the wall.


It could apply to motorcycles.
A motorcycle can be chained to a large steel cage that doesn't fit on
pickup trucks, vans or trailers.

I see my neighbors chaining them to the carport uprights.(aluminum tubing!)

A cordless skill saw with a metal blade can probably can get through
that in seconds. Noisy though.


Chaining to a big block of concrete in the ground would be good too.

screwing in one of those hurricane tiedowns made for trailers might work
for a chain point.Or sink an eyebolt into a concrete filled hole.

Or perhaps chained to something big like an anti tank barrier :)

That could be made from old rail road track :P

How about this idea..
You park..
Then this hook comes out of the driveway and latches onto the frame..
It's now 'earth anchored'. :)

Or..perhaps just an invisible nylon cord attached to a grenade
attached to the motorcycle.
That or a dozen flares. :P

ok...some of those idea are wacky but just for fun..

basically,you need to slow them down long enough for you to respond to an
alarm.(prepared for any confrontation;pepper spray,Taser,or best;a firearm)

If you are away from your MC(at work,or using your auto),they may have
enough time to cut thru any chain/padlock.

Others do not respond to alarms...unless you have very good neighbors.

Maybe confront your thefts in the most scariest way.. Wear a Jason
hockey mask and carry a running chainsaw :P
Nahh... I think that's worn off..
Look like an Al Guida suicide bomber with all sorts of explosive
looking things strapped on and run after the thefts swearing in
Afghan. :P

But seriously...
Cell phones are very small these days and some contain GPS tech. They
are cheap too.
It should be possible to 'bug' the motorcycle for tracking.
"
Already in the works is E911. E(nhanced) 911 is a program mandated by
the U. S. FCC (Federal Communications Commission). It requires the
location of any cell phone used to call 911 can be determined to
within 50 to 100 meters. The law takes effect at the start of 2005.
That means cell phone manufacturers need to incorporate a GPS receiver
in virtually every cell phone."

Well...it's probably abusive to use that system for theft tracking.
But... the system might be expanded for tracking someday..

"Hello 911... Yeah, my motorcycle has been stolen and it'll be
autodialing 911 every 2 minutes. Can you find it?" :)

Or just lie...

"Hello 911... My mute 15 year old daughter has just been kidnapped and
she could be dialing 911.. Please help!"
I have to wonder what the fine will be for having 10 cop cars and a
helicopter track a stolen motorcycle :P
