I would surmise that with the current economic situation in our country, the use of and sales of motorcycles will probably increase. Many motorcycle owners whom in the past, have used their bikes for luxury and sport, may find it necessary to utilize their bike for daily commuting. Gas prices certainly could dictate this trend.
For that reason—and because we at RoadLoK Security truly care about you and your motorcycle—I would like to offer some words of advice about securing your prized possession.
Common sense can go a long way. Without going into a long laundry list of “do’s and don'ts” I’ll make this simple, brief and to the point:
A good share of motorcycle thefts in the United States are “roll away”- or “ride away”-type thefts. We all know and have heard many times that “ four strong men with a couple of pipes or two by fours, can carry your locked bike away”.
Yes, RoadLoK Security acknowledges the fact that if someone wants your bike bad enough, they’ll probably get it. We simply say, “don’t let your bike remain an easy target”.
Lock your bike as best as you know how. Install a RoadLoK, utilize a chain and padlock, install an alarm with a lock—just do something to secure the bike!
Always try to park in well lit areas that are visible to vehicle and foot traffic. If you ride in a group, block each others bike in and secure them all. If you can secure more than one bike to another or to an immovable object, do that too.
If you are continuously aware of the threat of theft, and keep a security conscious mind about where and how you leave your bike unattended you may not become a disgruntled pedestrian!
The photo included in this report, shows how a RoadLoK Defender thwarted the attempted theft of my Street Glide. Thanks RoadLoK!
Safe Riding!
