Overkill?

[Mira]

Hay all, I'm about to get a bigger bike which I'll be keeping outside my house in a not brilliant but not the worst part of Liverpool.

When my dad had his bike (old suzuki 100) outside the house the local scrots were forever trying to nick it. They buggered the ignition barrel then when they couldn't start it (they were very cr@p ) they decided to start pushing it over to trash it. This was going back a good few years now.
Now all my dad had was a crappy tiny padlock and chain (the type that wouldn't look secure on a peddle bike! ) chained to the lada he had at the time.


I'm planing on having a Almax chain/squire lock, bolt down anchor, alarmed disk lock, and bike cover.
Now my question is is it worth getting a concrete in ground anchor and/or a motorcycle alarm (cheap one off e-bay) as well?

Thanks all

It's well worth finding a motion sensitive 120DB alarm in my honest opinion

Thanks

I was looking at an alarm/immobilizer on e-bay the cyclone V2.
The alarms are just so I can run out with harry the hammer if it gets set off

Quite loud, easy to use and install.

and its 50 quid.

£30 was the one I was looking at.

Nothing prevents a bike from being stolen better than having a reputation of someone who will do serious and permanent damage to potential thieves. Obviously it's not a good idea to actually maim anyone...but if you can make the chavs think you might, that's the battle won

I looked at the V3 but it's a bit more expensive than I was thinking. I'll have to see what funds I can scrape together.

My ground anchor will be a hardie anchor, I was planning on looping the chain through the rear wheel and swing arm. Front wheels are a bad idea.

Another tip is to try and keep the chain off the ground, stops any decent leverage being gained.

Best tip, remember to always put the effort in to put all this stuff on each time, cos the one time you think "I just have sank to eat then sort the bike out" is the time your bike goes.... trust me.....

True story, this. There was a notorious thieving shitbag who used to plague the estate where my mate lived. Said mate caught said shitbag attempting to cut the lock off his DTR125...

Shitbag was discovered stark naked, D-locked by the neck to a lamppost by the old bill...who took several hours to secure the services of the fire brigade to cut lock and free thieving scumbag.

I understand the tea leaf decided to curtail his activities after this incident, at least on that estate

Alarms can easily have a wire cut, or be zapped before the bike is touched so they don't go off. Solid security is the only way.

I've got some spare alarms I could probably put your way for not much cash Mira.

They are noise-only though and won't immobilise, but can be fitted wherever you can find space on the bike (mine is under the seat on my Zephyr), are activated by movement (and you can adjust the sensitivity), attach directly to the battery terminals, don't drain your power and have a remote fob to turn them on and off.

OH says a tenner plus postage or you can come and collect seeing as we are just up the road a bit. He has a few different makes to the one in the pic but they are all broadly similar.

as for locking it through the back wheel, dont, go through the sub frame much harder to remove. Also dont leave the chain on the ground
