Wow, was planning on attending some of these bike rallies. Now gives me pause. Bastards!! Also heard of 4 big dudes with two sections of 1" pipe just passing the pipes inside each wheel and heave ho she's gone!

Sorry to hear of the rotten luck. I recently had a jerk burn a hole in my cover while touring the gulf coast a couple weeks back.... some real a -holes out there.

Curious though....what parking garage was this? I travel to Myrtle several times a year, but most condo's won't accept bikes anytime, rally or not. I'd like the option of having a place to park and meet the wife there. Thought of paying storage at the HD shop if they'd take it.
Thanks

We stay at island vista every year. It's in myrtle and away from the actual rally but it's pretty quiet and we enjoy it. Apparently they have good security cameras and I'm awaiting the call from the hotel on whether or not it was videoed. I'll be replacing the lock next week and making sure my premiums are paid on my insurance lol.

Anyone else ran into getting their rig stolen at a rally?

I always request ground floor when making reservations for the MB Bike Rallies.

I've gone to MB three years and never had a problem with any kind of theft attempt or damage. We stay at Broadway Plantation (trade our time share).

There was a lot of $$ and my time invested in my Night Train and couldn't stand the thought of a thief taking it.. Haven't measured the RG's fairing yet but I hope it fits through a 36' door as well..

My disk lock came with a bright orange cord that loops around the throttle grip. So far, this has worked pretty well for me. This seems to be a complicated (and expensive) solution to a problem that can be solved much easier and cheaper. My .02 anyway.

Yeah...

Plus I don't care for the idea that if the lock failed and the pin were engage in the rotor at speed...It would really hurt. Probably a very remote failure mode. But, having done reliability analysis, the failure rate is greater than 0, and I wouldn't want to be the one it failed on.
