Bike Security Solution to motor bike thievery

[Esteban]

I DO NOT suggest this !!
I had an old friend who was " mentally challenged " & would ride a moped. He lived in a very poor neighborhood & his mopeds were stolen quite often. I went over to his house to check on him one day, & I wish you had seen what he had rigged up ! A piece of home wiring with one end stuck in an outlet & the other end was to a ground , beside his moped. One of the wires was stripped back maybe 3 ft & wrapped around the frame !!!

Scottyo- I'll join your moped gang. I'm going to mass art next week and brining my bike, so I'm going to need manny locks and/or claymore mines.

Now see if I had an electric bike, I could have an extra wire to have a built in-electric fence type thing like your "Special" friend did

How about when you park your bike, you could disconnect your ignition and to make special insulated grips somewhere and attach the leads to it... so when the guy tries to take off with your bike, he will get a good shock in the nuts!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh man that would be a sight to see

*pedal-pedal-pedal*

OH DEAR GOD @$^*$&(@$#%@$!!!!!!!!!!

Get a slip on/over bike seat cushion..cut/form a thin piece of wood or plastic to fit inside...drill and file some slots to fit , epoxy in some single edge razor blades...put on seat when you leave your bike...a few more blades on frame painted the same as frame..

You know, Turtle Tedd, that's really not a bad idea at all.

I wouldn't normally endorse any kind of booby trap because of the fear that someone who is not up to any evil might spring it. But if that padding were thick enough, then the only person likely to be hurt is someone who actually rides the bike, i.e.; the thief.

And wouldn't he be sorry?

Of course, the owner of the bike had better make darn sure that he never forgets about it.

Nobody cares if a bike is stolen... this is a bit scary... and that is just too cool!!!

And you know, just about everyone can get their bike stolen.

The solution really is more enforcement, more sting operations with high end bikes left in the open with undercover agents nearby to nab someone. Like the next to last video, loosen a few bolts and it's much easier to catch the theives.

I posted a thread on LoJacks for bicycles that might interest you.----> http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?39089-LoJack-for-Bicycles

I like Turtle-Teds idea with a slight modification, instead of blades you use straightened LARGE salt-water fish hooks (who knows, probably illegal to booby trap your bike, I know it is with your house) and make them where they'll be on either side of the mud-cutter, the thief won't be able to pedal, and you'd probably find him (and the bike) on his side screaming.Then you could call the po-po, or let him have a free butt cushion get on your bike and ride off laughing and pointing, get it "pointing"?

Those web links don't work - the videos have been removed.

Use the old hot rodder's method. Put the plug wire in your pocket and take it with you.
