It must work!! I don't use a cover or any other locks except what came on the bike, and have never put the audible alarm on the security system, BUT I really do try to park near the nicer looking bikes! So far so good. Of course I haven't been up in the NE or out on the west coast either. All my trips out of state have either been to the Smokies or the Rockies.

Anyone have any info/statistics on bikes most sought after? What do the thieves like to steal the most?

Funny, being an HD n00b, knowing the stigma or sterotype surrounding an HD owner ya think one would be intimidated going near an HD bike. ;-)

Near the loby is a great thing if ya can. Most places are good about that. Cable locks thru both wheels for me also in addition to fork lock and factory security.

Keep it insured. Take all the crap in the room. Lock the forks and ignition. Slightly open the curtains so the bikes can be seen at any point in time.

Go to sleep, get up, eat breakfast, haul out!
