Think I passed that place on the way to my bike

[Scuba-Roo]

How does every one lock there bikes at home?

I was thinking of buying them disk brake locks, bolting a metal bracket to the concrete floor and running a sheilded chain through the bike.

Mine are insured, but they stay inside a locked garage...but at the end of the day if they want to take the bike enough - they WILL take the bike.

The standard steering lock is pretty useless too.

My Triumph has an immobilizer, but won't stop them picking it up and loading it onto a truck/ute if they really want it.

[Adam]

Yeah dad had a mate who had a fair few bikes in his garage, fully locked, and massive locked gate. Bikes were padlocked to the floor.

They took em all.


Mine is insured and my shed is locked. If I go for long periods of time I use the chain through the weel.

Also have a Doberman

"In other news, two Bargo men have been found licked to death by a ferocious Doberman while trying to steal a motor scooter".

[Adam]

Haha pretty much.

She puts on a good show though!

[Scuba-Roo]

I guess some one could just use my battery angle grinder and cut the chain lol.

[ams]

You should chain down your angle grinder.

[Scuba-Roo]

Haha. I know if people want a bike they'll find a way to take it. But hopefully a few locks will act as a bit of a deterrent.

[Zac]

So what bike is it Mark?

[Scuba-Roo]

450F

Mates picking it up friday, gonna put the rego in my mates name, then in my name when i get back

[Adam]

All you can really do is deter the opportunistic thieves really. It's the same with anything.

[Zac]

Sounds nice Mark... would be fun...

paying stamp duty twice that way. better off paying the late fee

[Morgan]

How long until you get back, Mark?

 

You have 14 days to transfer the rego. As long as the seller writes the receipt in your name, you'll be fine.

[Adam]

You can transfer it online, as long as the seller lodges a notice of disposal

[alexGT]

you can transfer rego online, as long as seller fills out their disposal form online first.
