RE: Do you lock when in the garage?
I have a garage and I lock mine and arm the security. Otherside of door in garage is an armed house as well. I have been broken into before and have learned my lesson.

RE: Do you lock when in the garage?
I lock my bike when in my garage. Hell, I even lock and set the alarm when at work and it is on a secure compound that is gaurded 24/7 with trigger happy guys. LOL I actually lock it out of habit. Many people leave there keys in their ignitions at work with no issues.

Take no offence, but if'n I was a bike thief and came buy your house and seen you in the stance in your avatar, I would not even think of going anywere near your bike.
On another note, I always lock the ignition and forks, even in the garage. If your ride was stolen from your garage and insurance company could prove you left it unlocked it wouldn't give your odds of collecting any better.

RE: Do you lock when in the garage?
Locked, alarm armed and all garage doors locked, even the garage overhead door.
I remember when I was getting my garage space ready to receive the bike and I went to home depot to get the sliding bolt locks for the door. He asked if I had a garage door opener. I said yes. He said you don't trust the lock on that? I said HELL NO!
Once I'm all finished with my Garage and workshop make over I'm having those doors wired to the house alarm system. Also thinking about Lo Jack for my ride.
And if that wasn't enough. If you get into my house with me there you will be met by Mr Rugar .45, 5 dogs, 3 killer cats and one pissed off wife.
There may be a mess to clean up but we will have some dog food for a few days.
