Motorcycle Security Tips

In addition to the motorcycle security devices that can be purchased in order to provide your ride with added levels of security;

There are some habits that you can learn to incorporate into your day that will go a long way in keeping your motorcycle secure. 

Five of these habits include:

• Placing your lock higher up on your bike, as opposed to nearer to the ground. The hard surface that the ground provides can be used as leverage to break through your lock’s chain.
• Don’t only use one lock to secure your bike. Choosing two different types of locks will ensure that you are doubly protected from potential thefts.
• Park your motorcycle indoors whenever you can, and when you need to park your car when away from home, choose a parking spot that is well lit and in a highly populated area.
• Set an alarm on your motorcycle that will make a loud, shrill noise every time someone attempts to steal your bike. There is little that is more frightening to criminals as loud noises that are bound to catch the attention of passerby on the street.
• Cover your motorcycle whenever possible, it won’t actually secure your bike at all, but it will make it less of a target for thieves.
