Keep your motorcycle, moped or scooter in a garage, shed, designated bike store or use a motorcycle cover – Storing it out of view is one of the best ways to prevent opportunist theft. Consider fitting a garage or shed alarm. A secure dedicated cover will also make it more difficult to steal.
-
Fit an alarm or immobiliser, preferably with tracking capability, and property mark panels – Alarms act as a deterrent; trackers and property marking assists in recovery, should your motorcycle be stolen.
-
Lock the rear wheel to an immovable object or ground anchor and use a disc lock on the front wheel – Use an SBD approved, high security rated chain lock to secure the back wheel to an immovable object such as a ground anchor or street furniture and keep the lock taut to prevent thieves easily attacking it with a battery powered angle grinder. Use a disc lock on the front wheel.
-
When possible, keep the lock off the ground – Whenever you lock and chain the rear wheel, wrap any excess chain around the rear wheel and try to enclose the lock. Keeping the lock off the ground can prevent it being attacked and smashed.
