scheetz31 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 so i just moved back to c-bus to finish up my last year at osu....however...my apartment only gives me the ability to park my bike in a parking lot. I have a big bully cable lock...last year i used it through the swingarm and then around the a column off my back porch. pretty secure and somewhat hidden. This year, it will have to be parked out where all can see, and there is no avalible stationary object to chain it to. just wondering if anyone else has ever lived in a situation like this...and if so, what further measures did you take to lock your bike up.ps...eventually i would like to get a storage garage for it, but cannot at the momment. looking for a temporary solution. bringing the bike inside is not an option either, i have a second floor flat.

Tomcat0403 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 leave it at my place in my garage, or tell them to shove it up their ass you will park your bike anywhere you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Garage or in the house are the only two viable options IMHO. Sucks you can't do either at the moment. You don't have any close friends or family with a garage you can stow it in for the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheetz31 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 closest garge is1.5 hours away...i mean i ride it everyday, but its the overnight, and or day i cant ride it im worried about. mores so, my forks dont even lock at the moment either. only thing i can think of is a disc lock and my cable.anyone have any experience with the alarmed disc locks? do they work well?

And you say you might 'have to get a shotgun' like it's a bad thing?Shotguns don't need chains, sprockets, or new batteries... you'll be OK.

ReconRat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I cable mine to the front of my van, near the apartment, under a cover with an alarm, in light from the porch light, and with a motion alarm pointed at it that sounds off inside the apartment. The cats, dogs, and raccoons set the alarm off...Somebody yanked the cover back the first week I had it home, looking for something to steal. They got in the open neighbor's car and took miscellaneous stuff. But I live in a rough but decent area of duplexes where people don't mess around, mind their own business and watch out for each other. In a typical apartment complex, your results may vary...Where I live, someone fooling around at night is likely to be targeted with lasers from multiple directions...

SWing'R Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have a big bully cable lock...last year i used it through the swingarm and then around the a column off my back porch.I think the obvious answers are...1. get an alarm system for it.2. continue to use the bully cable lock, chain the wheels together so it can't be rolled away.

max power Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Insure the hell out of it, use a disc lock and live your life. If someone steals it, get another one. Never be in love with a vehicle you keep on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatik3 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I would hire a midget with a cane pole to sit next to it when you aren't riding it. Dress him like a ninja and have him jump out and scream incoherent bad japanese then hit the person with the cane pole. Even if they weren't going to tr y to steal it. Just to get the word out.Ok so this isn't really a midget but you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
