Hey, I know this probably belongs in the off topic section, but after reading a post about someones bike getting ripped off, I wonder.......most of the time I worry about my bike getting stolen when I'm in a restaurant or a bar and the bike is out of site. So I often check on it, from time to time. I don't worry about someone driving off with it but I do worry about several guys in a truck who can just pick the bike up and throw it in the back of a truck, takes about 15 seconds. But it never occured to me that someone can just break into my house, find a spare key, open the garage and drive away on my bike. My key is easy to find....and my doberman is really friendly, lol. Do you leave your key just lying around on the kitchen counter when you lock your front door and go out to work or wherever?

 

Do you want my address and the hours I work too?

J/k. My key is with the keys to the other vehicles as well, usually ina drawer.

 

My bike and truck keys are within sight of my Magnum revolvers.

 

In my pocket.

 

I generally keep one in my pocket, and one in a top-secret location.
I could tell ya, but then I'd hafta kill ya.

I ride to work most days, so the sled is most often parked right outside my office window.

 

I guess I'm not the only neurotic one out there. I think of the same ****. I have mine in my pocket at all times and the spare well hidden. I'm so neurotic I don't want to tell you where I keep the spare. I have nightmares about someone screwing with my bike. Truth is, as you said, if someone wants it bad enough they're gonna take it. The world is a very cruel place. I have full insurance which gives me some peace of mind!
I cringe everytime someone even looks at my bike for too long. The worst is when you meet one of those "finger guys" who find it necessary to touchyour bike with there greasy fingers. I watch them closely and tell them to keep their greasy mitts off. Or even worse the guy that jumps on the saddle before you get a chance to tell them NO!!!!!!! Sorry went off topic on that one. Just had to get it out!

[sm=wtf.gif] - you kidding?

 

I keep mine in my truck. I just moved into the city for work and dont have a place to keep my bike at the moment. Luckily my father lives pretty close. I bought a shed and keep it at his house. I keep them in my truck along with a change of clothes and my boots so whenever I deicde to ride I just go over there and have everything with me. Its a PAIN IN THE **** to have to drive to ride my bike...but for now it works. I am moving the shed and bike over as soon as I can.

 

Dude, I wish I was kidding. My bikes consume about 95% of my thoughts. I reserved the other 5% for everything else. Gotta go, time for my meds!

 

Keep one with you and one hidden. Simple.

There's always insurance.
