No Bike Is Theft Proof

[DAMIEN1307]

I just watched this video and thought it was quite interesting because they tried a variety of anti-theft locking devices on a motorcycle...ALL failed to prevent a determined "thief" from stealing it.

Yes, still lock it up as best you can, You will at least keep the amateur novices from stealing it, but a dedicated thief?...NO WAY...lol.

Yup... I subscribe to Bikes & Beards too. Good stuff. Also of note: Not a single person stopped and asked the guy WTF is going on. THAT SAID... I wonder if that would be the same if there wasn't an obvious camera tri-pod set up to film the guy. I mean, I figure most people who see a "thief" cutting a lock off a motorcycle in front of a "camera" ... they're not really doing anything illegal...

But what lock if any was the guy who's bike was stolen using?

This is the only theft proof bike.

I'd feel bad for them if they weren't scumbag thieves...

Pro M/C thieves are organized, The M/C their after cost $20K - $60K
Guy's just put the bike on a dolly and roll it into a box van w/lift gate, it takes a couple mins
If your bike isn't locked they will just put the bike in neutral and roll it away, it takes less than 1 min

Factory M/C alarms the lights flash and it chirps.
M/C alarms are meant to draw attention to the person messing with the bike, that's it.
If ya got low jack GPS these Pro thieves know about it too

I guess if you're going to have a bike worth that much you should invest in a garage. Then if you leave it on the street somewhere it's a gamble. Good thieves know how to steal good cars too. Used to be easy to steal a car, but technology has come a long way. Now you need more than a screwdriver. I guess motorcycles aren't that much different than they were years ago as far as security.

OH yeah my Harley is garage kept, keyless ignition FOB and alarm
I have full M/C insurance coverage,

Cars get towed away just as easy as a M/C can be
The only difference is you can see your car on the back of a tow truck unlike a M/C in a van

Can thieves just disconnect the battery and that will disable the Factory GPS tracking device ?

OK I answered my own question

It's not the car battery that has to be disconnected.
The GPS tracker has a battery of it's own. This battery can be disconnected and the tracking will be disabled

This should answer that question quite nicely for you...You aren't gonna like the answer...lol.
