STOLEN BIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey yall as we all know we are now upon that time to where bikes start to ride away on there own. The cops arnt really here for us so we need to take some time as bike weeks are right around the corner to keep an extra eye out for our friends and the other on our own shit. 4 bikes in south carolina in the last two weeks. The ones that walked away here were bikes in front of apartments. so you guys take special notice. Oh and yes i still have my bike. but I would hate to hear that any of the regulars that i bs with here lost there ride.
So heads up were on a little spell here!
BTW the gsxr750 that was stolen is on the front page of www.scriders.com mike maybe you could do one of those hotlink thingys. Bike stolen 4th of feb. from mt p in some appt complex.

Lo jack!

As some of you may know lo jack 2 months ago released it bike version. well reports are flowing in all over that bikes are being recovered left and right. I am a member of 3 national forums and in al 3 there are "my bike was found by the new lo jack" threads. So this apparently works! bike thiefs are getting poped while sitting on the bike. No matter how fast the run or where they hide GPS is finding them. It was released in cali first and i have allready read 4 southern cali bikes being found 1 with 3 others chained to it! the system is pricey starting at $750 installed but bike thiefs are getting poped left and right in cali right now. so it is only a matter of time untill it makes its way over the country. you know what that means CHEAPER insurance! thats right alot of our money goes to paying for bike theft. Way to go Lo jack!!!!!!

Sorry!!! You best call before putting money into that shit. KWS did some calls with that company last year. They do not work in S.C. Unless things have changed since then.

I looked into that and other technologies. Unfortunately, most, including lojack, are easy to defeat. The $750 would be better spent on layers of protection, to include a good paging alarm, wheel lock, ground anchors, chains/cables, video surveillance with motion sensing and notification, etc.

Things are changeing now. the bike parts are only 2 months old and the towers are going up from cali to here. so there up in cali. 4 crooks caught in the past two months 8 bikes recovered.

I'd be more interested in seeing stats for the percentage of bikes with lojack being recovered. If, say, the trend becomes and continues to be a 90%+ recovery rate, I might consider it, but not until then.

Toss a stolen bike into a metal box (van/trailer), and it's a done deal.

Me and Mike,I watched this thing on the discoery channel about bike thieves. they call you victum number 1. they say you go to bike week then they pull up with a tow truck and take your truck trailor and bike...

I agree with Mike. I think the $750 could be well spent on something else for much better protection. Lo Jack can give you any numbers that you want to make there product look better than what it is. Bikes are very easy to steal, and very easy to take to a storage facility to strip down where it will not work in the first place. I won't take dumb thieves long to figure out that they should comb the bike for this stupid device on every stolen bike. The best anti theft product that you can buy for your bike is simple, full coverage insurance. If you think that you can stop your bike from being stolen, your sadly mistaken.

Full coverage on the new thousands is retarted outragious a hell of alot more than $750. but.. Im all about thieves getting caught

Yep, like a hand gun.

There's no worse feeling coming out of your home to find your bike has been stolen. It happened to me a few years ago. I kept my race bike over at a buddy's house for this reason alone, but I decided to park it over night at my apartment complex because I was going to the race track so early. It was only for 4 hours (12am to 4am) and it was even a week night. I got up and it was gone. I could even see the trail made in the grass. I was so pissed. Sitting in a parking lot at a apartment complex is the worst possible place you could leave it. It's if it will get stolen, it's when. I hope he finds it, but it's very doubtful.

yea nash I had a similar experience. it sucks! And the cops.. you can hang it up there not interested in helping. how many of you were there at hooters that night my zx6r rolled up and the cops let him go? I got that bike back but it was because of how i did it.
