that's some good sh*t there!

I guess I just dont worry about it with the road I live one. My neighbors and I keep a good watch out for strange people and even strange vehicles that we have not seen before.
Those guys would have to be ballsy to steel out of a Hog riders garage. Do they think that anyone riding a HD would tuck tail and run if they caught them in the act. One of the local dealerships was even advertising " Buy a Harley Davidson, Get a FREE gun". That made the news.

I really like the snickers trick though. I'm going to have to try that one(on my buddy's bike).

I was also told by a cop that they use furniture dollies and just lift the front end and roll the bike up a ramp.....not worried at home as I have a decent caliber of protection but overnight at motels is a different deal.....insurance is key I guess..

Hell, I don't care if they take it... Take the bike, the vette, or the ranger. No worries, I'll get another one the following month. That's why I have insurance... never carry liability only, you're only protecting everyone else.
