Bike stolen or broken into?
How many here have ever had their bike stolen or bags broken into?
I can't imagine the horror of either scenario.
ESPECIALLY the bike being taken!!
I'm super paranoid about leaving my bike unattended for long periods iof time......depending in where I am.
Ill.always go check on it every 20 mins or so to be safe.
There's an antique bike show this month here in South Florida.
I'm thinking of taking the car only because I'm uneasy leaving the bike unattended in a field with a thousand other bikes for a few hours.
I've got some nice stuff in my bags Id hate to lose.
Wadaya think........am I being too paranoid?
Better that than getting ripped off I think!
Ya get that way growing up in NYC.

I don't keep things in my bags I'm not willing to loose. The rest is covered by insurance, and I just hope I'll never have to use it.

Mine is insured and, if stolen, I probably don't want to find it. Who knows what they broke stealing it or stripped off of it.

I was so proud when I bought my first new Harley. I rode it to Sturgis that summer and worried the whole ride up there. Then I got there and realized that my bike was nothing special, and there were hundreds and hundreds that were much nicer. Yours is no different. Also, if I saw someone breaking into a bike in a field of many, I would not just stand there and watch. Ride it and enjoy the show.

I personally think that if you worry too much about stuff like that, it spoils the ride. You have insurance, and the things in the bags should be replaceable. As was said before, it it gets stolen I probably don't want it back. I have been to many rally's swap meets and bike shows, and have never had anything ripped off of my bikes. Hotel parking lots are another story, someone stole my valve cap once! Ride it and enjoy the ride!!!
