get a good alarm either the datotool or meta both thatcham approved,get some decent locks on garage door if its a up and over door you can buy a garage defender which is sold secure approved maybe thatchamthat goes on the outside up against door so it cant be opend unless u undo the lock or just put some locks or them sliding bolts in the corner of the garage door going into the frame work,or get a garage alarm

Sorry to say but Oxford chains/locks are shite

Can you spot your new chain?

Get an Almax chain and lock with a Datool alarm imo

As said, a garage defender would be a good idea too

sell the gixxer and replace it with a green kwak... who would nick that?

ABUS chains are highly recommended by fellow bikers

we've got a garage defender infront of my parents garage door, would personally recommend one of those

its a totally different world down with you guys obviously! you have to chain your bike up inside the garage?

Mine sits unalarmed at the back of mine but its blocked in by my cossie. good luck to the thieves if they can make the cossie work to move it

I don't have to worry about mine really. I live in a pretty good area and the bike is out of sight of the road and quite tricky to get out.

The alarm, alarmed disklock and fooking great chain & anchor are simply for piece of mind

Rottweiler under the pillion seat I reckon mate.

I've got two very strong chain locks and a wall anchor but to be honest it's pretty safe in our area. It has got a Datatool System 3 as well so it should be safe.

This is before I locked it up. You can see the wall anchor just behind the back wheel though.
