• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Best security option for city street parking

There are a few....

The disc locks are good as long as you remember you put it there. Cable locks from kryptonite and there are always the DIY types...I remove the key with the bar locked, hit the kill switch and apply the park brake.:thumbup:

NOT on Ryker:lecturef_smilie::banghead::banghead::gaah:
 
I want some sort of security device for my Rally because I'll be parking it out on the street

Keep it covered to help keep people off of it.

For security, I would put in a concrete filled, thick steel, mailbox post at the curb and use a quality chain/cable to lock the Ryker to it. Could wrap around pole when not in use. If I couldn't do that, I would try to getaway with a buried block of concrete between sidewalk and curb or in yard at curb. Block would have an embedded eye bolt to lock to. Any way, I would have a motion or proximity alarm and security camera. My biggest issue with just wheel locks would be someone deciding to drag it onto a trailer with a winch - a couple of minutes and gone.

A cover would go a long way. I put the parking brake lock on my wife's Ryker. I think between those two things, a thief would be discouraged enough to move on. The harsh reality is that 3 big strong guys can pick it up and toss it in a truck...not likely, but possible
 
Consider too, adding a hidden locating system so when it is stolen you can hopefully track where it is and recover it quickly.

The Syder has a pretty involved security system to prevent starting the machine, so essentially it will be slid onto a flat bed, then torn apart and sold as parts.

As for chains, cables and such securing it to poles or embedded concrete, they are merely a deterrent and a battery powered cutout wheel will be through them in under a minute.

Essentially, if crooks want it, they will get it. As they say, gone in 60 seconds...

The more deterrents you have, the longer, and in the case of using a cutting wheel to disable, the louder. No "gone in 60 seconds" having to cut loose and drag onto a trailer. Especially if you also have the front brake lock and are using the steering lock. Lots of noise to hopefully attract attention too.

As for a tracker. If someone takes my ride, I don't want it back. That is why I have replacement insurance. Not interested in having a ride with a branded title.

Don
