• 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.

need to rant and rave... scream and more........

get a deer camera that is motion activated. Park you car next to your spyder with the camera lock inside aimed at the spyder and every time someone goes near it you get a pic. Then the next time someone messes with it you can go to the manager with the pic.
 
Get the Nelson half cover. You can with a bit of ingenuity lock it over the bike. And an alarm and lastly a deer camera though a high end building must have security footage of their garage area. If your building security won't give it up that's when you get your attorney to involved.

And moving away from entitled morons might also help. :clap:

Oh, wait. Forget the deer camera. Set up your own video cam and sell it to TMZ to pay for your next bike. :roflblack:
 
This thread is about ranting and venting. Logically, yes, any sort of booby-trap is almost always a bad idea (e.g.: http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2010/10/23/Man-killed-by-own-booby-trap/UPI-69591287840035/). I grew up in an area of Canada that had a low murder rate, but property crime was endemic. Dirt bags wouldn’t think twice about breaking into a car or home to steal whatever they could, probably because the law sympathized with the perps. If you hit a home-invader with a baseball bat, you would be the one to go to jail and the perp would sue you and take your house.

Anyway, I knew someone that had 3 car stereos stolen. On his 4th one, he rigged up a bunch of razor blades on it so if someone reached up under his dash to fiddle with it, they would slice up their hands. I predicted one of 3 three outcomes:

1. He’d forget about it someday and slice up his own hand.
2. A mechanic working on his car would end up slicing up his hand.
3. A would-be thief would slice up his hand then completely trash his car.

Well, number 3 happened…
 
It's inevitable that someone is going to mess with your bike, no matter what you do. In fact, the more obnoxious you make an alarm, the more likely an offender might do something worse to your bike as you might be :cus:ing him off.

I'd proceed with caution with what you do...sometimes just getting a cover for your bike will do the trick.

I was at a picnic this weekend and some guy took his kids and put them on my bike..my cramp busters were twisted all around and the little kids got muddy shoes on my seat. Was I angry??...you bet...don't touch what doesn't belong to you...the bike is not a jungle gym and it's not public property. Simply put, people need to be more responsible. How about asking before you plant your two kids on someone else's property?

Get a cover for your bike...best way to go...
 
I have come to the decision of getting an alarm with a proximity sensor then installing 4 120db mini sirens. On top of that I think the camera may also be a possibility and selling it to TMZ to pay for a new :spyder2:
:2thumbs:
 
I have a Scopio SR-i900 alarm and that has done a good job of keeping people off and away from the bike.

I agree Scorpio SR-i900, it has a keyfob that will work up to two miles so you will be alerted in your room. You can also arm it in silent mode which is cool becasue the bike won't make a sound when the alarm goes off but you will be alerted remotely and can suprise the unsuspecting. I have this system and will never deal with anything that does not have two way communications.

Another thumb up for the Scorpio alarm. Have the 600i with proximity and it is a great deterrent for this kind of problem.
 
RE: Magna Volt, I wouldn't want to clean up the stinky mess that was left behind (or should that be from the behind) :yikes: :roflblack: :roflblack:

When I was stationed in Delaware the neighborhood kids in base housing would mess with my cb antenna. I rigged a large capacitor to it. Worked good until the sky cops were called. I had to go before the base CO. I got a verbal reprimand and the parents of the little #$&^## got nothing. However, I did get even later.
