Just a note really, no point to the post other than to converse on the topic...
I've booked in to install the BikeTrac tracking system. Have read good things about it and for the price of a decent alarm installation it's not too bad of a cost. The £100 per year subscription is decent too imo given the level of security coverage you get in return.
That is all. ____________________ GSXR 600 K6 - Stolen

Got one fitted on my STR, gives piece of mind being able to login at any time to make sure it's still where you left it, an app would be nice though, but I guess it's in development...
You can set movement or geofence mode, it also geocaches journeys, and your speed (remember to turn this off if not required ). Another nice feature is bike down, if the bike tilts past a certain angle (not sure what exactly) you can set it to notify contacts in case you come off somewhere rural alone and are not conscious.
Don't forget to set service mode if moving the bike around without the key, I've had a couple calls checking in when I've forgotten, but always nice and friendly.
Also note - they've recently split off from RoadAngel group to do their own thing now. ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

Some of the t/c are a bit odd...
Recovery of a stolen vehicle
BikeTrac Limited also takes no responsibility if your BikeTrac unit has been installed incorrectly, resulting in malfunctioning of the system and/or theft of a vehicle
So their OFFICAL fitters fuck up and they will not cover you...
Subscribers must not attempt to recover a stolen vehicle (or any other asset fitted with BikeTrac). Subscribers must contact their local Police authority who will decide whether to utilise the BikeTrac system as part of their recovery and/or criminal investigation efforts.
So they will alert you, but you can't do anything other than contact the local police and hope they will use the tracking system data to recover your bike.
Perhaps before paying for this service. You ask local police if they have access to use any data..
If a vehicle is stolen and not recovered, BikeTrac Limited will not refund any pre-paid subscriptions.
All subscription charges and other payments under these terms must be paid in advance as set out on any order forms, online or in printing. There is a minimum of a 12 month subscription period,
All subscriptions may be terminated at any time in accordance with clause 8 below
Interesting as there is no mention of any ability to cancel by user should bike be stolen and not recovered and your right NOT to pay the rest of the 12 months. ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |

You can get much cheaper solutions that will alert you, but the critical difference is that BikeTrac do seem to liaise with and badger Dibble, and make it easy enough for them to recover it that they might actually bother to do so.
I mention this because knowing that your bike has been nicked and even approximately where it is (or was) does little to help get it back unless you've very lucky and it's left out in the open or in a totally unambiguous location. And even at that, you might have to storm it yourself rather than getting any help from the rozzers, who may even actively refuse to use your tracker to pinpoint it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 110 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
