Stolen Spyders ?

Cover tend to discourage people from sitting on the. I used a cable lock thru both front wheels for a long time, then just quit and locked the handlebars. parking in the light whenever possible.
If you use a able lock on any bike, have a cord that goes to the handlebars, so you do not forget it is on.

The computer never sleeps! You don't think Bob got nearly 58K posts all by himself, do you?

I remember back in 09 at the Red Carpet Event in Hollywood BRP officials were unlocking handlebars with a master key to move the vehicles out of the way of other owners before going on our run up Angeles Crest Hwy. I can't recall if they started them. I want to think a lonely Spyder may be safer than a cluster of them. It stands out like a naked lady in the parking lot. But you have 200 naked ladies which one do you look at (or not)? I have my guesses who will answer this first.

In 2013 there was one stolen off of a trailer after the owners event in Maggie Valley. The owners, I don't recall their name, were riding another bike on the BRP. When they came back the Spyder was gone along with the tie downs and locks. As was mentioned, there was one stolen in Ohio not too long ago. And I do remember the truck/trailer/Spyder combo being stolen too. We had a rash of stolen motorcycles locally two years ago. One was taken right out of the guys garage while he was eating supper. A few of the perps were caught. Only one bike was recovered.

Ken, where have you been hiding?
