Some old timer Harley Riders told me about bike covers 1) Get one without a bike brand name on it. That way they have no idea what is under the cover. 2) Make the cover dirty and unattractive with some black over-sprayed paint and duct tape on it. Thieves will think it a crap bike because you have not invested in a good new cover. 3) Get a cover a bit bigger than you need. Then the rims and tires are covered so then again they have no idea what is under the cover. Plus they cannot figure out what type of bike is under the cover by the profile. As they said, people do not covet what they cannot see.

Thought about that a couple of times when i saw covered bikes. When i who knows a lot about bikes to the point that i never have to ask anyone "what bike is this?" I can tell you 90% of the time what bike hides under the cover just by seeing a part of the bike like the wheels (size, width, etc), the final drive (chain, belt, shaft), brakes, the swingarm or the lower part of the forks and the axle mount. Plus you can always tell what type of bike it is by the overall shape. At least i can tell 100% if that bike is worth enough to steal it. So make sure to cover that up good

I own two bikes and live in a nice residential area and I caught people trying to "check" my bikes before. If you have a high end bike, professional thieves will come for it.

But they were guarding the wrong safe! 😱

I live in London so the bare minimum for me is huge chain, ground anchor, tracker and CCTV. Fortunately the place I park at work supplies ground anchors, CCTV and regular security patrols. Oh and the cover is a good idea but an old tatty one is better than a shiny new one. Even then someone attacked my pride and joy with a hammer after failing to get through my chain with their angle grinder. I had a 125 stolen because I didn't use a big enough chain, now I take no chances.

That is by far one of the most in depth reviews I have ever watched. It's like Hugh Green in Anatomy Crash Course videos but with motorcycle security accessories. This video was like an entertaining lava lamp, just kept going but the more I watched the more I learn.

I would add one more - additional killswitch for the starter. Simple rewire plus 2$ on/off switch hidden in some accessible but hidden place.

Loving all the videos man, always informative and providing me with quality content. Massive thanks for all the tips and products you showcase that have helped me. Thanks Ryan!

Ryan, you're videos are seriously the best. I've been watching tons of KZread biking related videos and I've never gone ahead to comment on any one. Except yours.

The UK 5 minute test is so so true! About 12 years ago I parked a K100 on a friends driveway whilst I nipped in for a few minutes and it was gone without a trace - needless to say lesson learnt!

fun tip with the GPRS trackers. you can wire a ignition live power cable into the device to keep it charged up with out worry about it dying out on you. tuck it away in the rear cavity and youve got a good little tracker. as even if they do disconnect the battery its inbuild battery will last and no chance of draining the battery if left for too without use either.

Yes I actually have 12 CCTV camera's setup and hired staff to monitor my bike 24/7 with 15 minute push notifications to my phone giving me GPS location, bike health status and thermal temperature readings. Small price to pay for piece of mind.

Well that removes any possibilities of commuting to work or school for me atleast. I don't know too many that can spend their workday looking at their motorcycle or at school and since it's my only way of transportation the best security is plain simple insurancy.

need an update for 2019 please :)

This video is great, thanks for the helpful advice.

Great video. Regarding the chain - Go with a PEWAG square link security chain (I think it called the 3012 or the VKK-12, depends on the region) Expansive but they are the best against cutters.

Added to the description! Thanks!

You should test the locks with files and hammers and lockpicks and make it a series

Hey man I love your channel! I have one critic though: whenever you review gear, sometimes you just dismiss the safety aspects of it. And for me, safety is the most important factor. IE: I was watching a video of you reviewing a pair of gloves, that were only leather, almost useless if you fall at a decent speed. I don't know if others agree, but it would be great if in the following videos you clearly commented on the safety level of each gear. I'm a new biker so I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thanks!

That was really informative - thanks!

Post a video on where to hide the GPS tracking device !

They will take it to ride around and steal better bikes or use it for mugging people on the streets.

You're a great presenter. Really enjoyed your video.

Will you offer me an insurance plan that will get my meticulously-customized, one-of-a-kind bike back instead of just refunding a new bargain-bin stock one when it is stolen? I mean, private investigators aren't cheap.

Pfft... You know.. as a veteran whose his bike was stolen twice in 4 months, I can say the insurance while helps, only cover around 60% of your bike. It is Indonesian insurance, btw

Unfortunately, motorcycle theft here in the UK is on the rise!

However, don't forget, that in London you can find a dozen scooters on every street corner and you can easily get away with a Transit van full of them within 15 minutes.

Love your personality. Still don't know you don't have more subs. Well at least you gained one more today. 😁

damnn looking back at the recommendations and the style has changed but the character of the channel stayed! finally getting a bigger bike than a 125 with my A2 licence, and I've been watching here and there since I got it 5 years ago!
