You must have been real bored to bring up a 2.5 year old thread to comment on, I'm guessing?

Park it by a nicer bike.

i think the best solution, from personal experience, is to lay the bike on it's side. it will be too much work to steal. at least i think it's tough to stand up a dresser once it is laid down.

Not sure about anyone else, but I had the dealer put lowjack on my bike. Also when it is sitting I try to stay within sight of the bike. Like a few other said my worries are in the garage when at work. Lowjack will email,call,text 5 numbers to make sure I know were my bike is.

Man, I'm glad I live where I live. I turn my ignition off and lock the forks and walk away. At that point, I stop worrying.

Last summer, I went out of town for three days, left the bike in the driveway. When I got home, I noticed that the ignition was unlocked. Anybody could have just jumped on, turned it on, and drove away.

Canada rocks.........sometimes.....
