I skipped a lot of posts, so its probably been said and shot down as not possible, but build a ramp and put it inside your townhouse, in a room, windows curtians closed and lock it inside sitting on cardboard.

course i have no idea what exactly a townhouse is, where i live its just a house in town rofl. take it to a relative and lock it in thier garage..find someone you trust and lock it in thier garage, we can rent storage here for about $30.00 a month..thats always an option but it needs to be fenced in or its vulnerable to theft there as well.

They have lojack for bikes now.

You can use a rotor lock on the front wheel. Very hard to get around.

Take out a supplemental insurance on the add ons. Want a shock? Ask your agent just what they will pay if it is stolen.

Cause if they want it. They are gonna get it.

My uncle worked for the Bartlett Police Motorcycle squad in the 60's. He caught four big guys with a harley. Pipes run through the wheels. It was off the ground and they were walking to a trailer with it.

He just happen to be going home. He made them hold it off the ground till a car got there.

put a Honda bike cover over it. No one will even take a second look at it.

Back in 2003 or 2004, my whole family packed up and went to bikeweek in MyrtleBeach. My Father, his wife, my younger sisters, my wife, my kids and me. There were a lot of bikes stolen that week. Every day someones scoot was gone.

We were on the way back up to the NC/Va line where we live, and we saw a truck pulled over on the side of the interstate. A couple of bikes in a trailer behind it, we went by too fast too pay much attention. Later we saw on the news where the bikes were stolen HD's, and they almost got away with it. Would have, if not for a State Trooper who was an HD owner himself. He passed them, then noticed the bikes were relatively new HD's, and were laying down. Of course that wasn't right. Who the hell would lay a nice HD on its side in a trailer? NOT! So he pulled them over and busted their bubble, and their criminal career. A couple of people were relieved to get their bikes back. Fokking guy should have been shot. Why don't "accidents" happen to garbage like that, instead of kids somewhere?
