Disc lock, security system with siren and pager. I am going to invest in a cover soon as well.

 

Normally when staying in a motel I avoid big cities. Whenever possible I park outside my room door or a window to my room. Have a factory alarm on the bike and a bright orange disk brake lock. May pick up a full cover that says HONDA, and then I know the bike will be safe.

 

I am of the opinion that touring harleys are not high on the list of stolen bikes. Crotch rockets are much more likely to be stolen. Just my opinion only.

 

Tell Larry Weaver that :>(

 

Whenever possible, I get a ground floor room, park my bike in front of my room, lock the ignition and forks and sleep with the window open. If I feel the need, I also have disc locks and a cable lock but have rarely used them.

 

5th on the list according to Esurance; all Japanese brands ahead of them. No statistics on the types of bikes stolen, but I am guessing that great big touring bikes are not high on the list either.

Personally, all I do is lock the ignition and cover the bike; more to keep the rain, dew, and dust off rather than for security. I haul everything inside that is worth anything or would be annoying if I lost. The bike is insured and can be easily replaced, so I don't worry about it.

 

I use the factory locks and alarm, then i cover it with a plain black cover to keep the dew and dust off. If someone wants it that bad they will get it anyway. The only time i do anything different is at bike week or any very large bike event, in that case i try to make it harder than the next one to take hoping the theives that come to town for those events take the easy targets.

 

I lock the forks and sometimes use a disk lock. Most hotels let me keep it near the front door under the port... Roof. I'm at a Marriott now and the valet gave me the option of front door or first spot in the ramp where the valets park the cars. I choose the ramp.

I used to use a cover when I left one at an airport, but the last time I did someone stole the Menards $14 cover.

 

touring 2 up i dont have the room or desire to carry 20 pounds of chain or bulky covers. ignition look alarm and good insurance. IF they get it I go new bike shopping.
