Can you suggest some security options for driveway

aaaahahahaha "front toward enemy"...exceptional LOL I love claymores. I have had two bikes stolen in my lifetime and I am a security layer freak...I mean I have gates, chains, security lights, DOGS, night vision camera, very long driveway for extra shooting time, locked garage...etc. if they want it they will get it. best ideas are keep it out of sight of scum driving up the road (as stated park it in the freakin living room) and excellent insurance policy (as previously stated). and yeah one of my bikes that was stolen was while I was laying in the floor studying..I heard a thud of metal thrown into the back of a pickup...it took me 1.2 seconds to get out the door with my colt 45 but they were gone...and soo was my bike...this was when I lived in an apartment...and it wasn't in a good part of town...scumbags patrol all areas. Layers of security only provide a little extra time to nail a bad guy...but they are very fast lol.

Years ago I had to park my bike outside for a year. I made an alarm system for it by parking it on a piece of plywood that I had mounted two micro switches on. The tires of the bike each sat on a micro switch. The switches were wired to a bell in my house and a spotlight on the side of the house. If the bike moved, the bell went off and the light came on. I had also driven a long steel rod into the ground and welded a chain to it. That chain was locked to the bike. I also kept the bike covered.
It worked pretty well. A couple of times I forgot to turn off the ac to the switches and set it off myself. lol

If I had to keep my bike in the driveway I would put some type of permanent mount in the concrete. Either an eyehook type device as suggested by the Dr VTwin or even mounting a bike chock device to the concrete. A few holes drilled in the concrete can be patched over when you move. I have a heavy Kryptonite chain that I use for road trips that I would attach to the chock or eyehook.
I also have a Roadlok front rotor lock on my bike but that wouldn't prevent a few guys from picking the bike up and putting it in a van or pickup.
Bike alarm with/without pager would be another option but again a couple guys can throw your bike in a van or pickup and be on their was in seconds.
Insurance is a must and guarantees that if all else fails you won't be hurting too much.

I think you are talking about the bike barn? Don't remember the rules on posting a url so it's those 3 words .net Found the one that I think you actually ment cycleshelter. Will leave the other one up as another option.
