Oh yeah, I was an electronic engineer by education, and eventually became a director of engineering. Which means I came up with great/stupid ideas for people to work 24/7 to implement. But now, I’m also the implementer.

My goal is to get it done before we leave for Sturgis, so I know if someone is f#$kn with my bike at a hotel. If so, then I’ll jump outta bed and chase them outta the parking lot, whilst being naked. I’ll post videos if the hotels have them available.

That. For the purpose of alarm siren would be better. I've installed one this past weekend. It chirps when bike is straightened up then in 4 secs chirps again if it's not lowered and goes on if bike is moved. My watch said it's about 95 dB.

Bitch prob have a heart attack and drop my bike, but it would still be worth it.
