usually when a bike is stolen it is picked up and loaded on a truck of some kind. it is rare that someone takes the time to hot wire a bike and ride it away. so if your not locking it to a tree or something, its almost pointless. 2 guys can pick just about any bike up and its gone in 30 seconds. i dont think there is a big market for our bikes, not like h.d. or a crotch rocket and, i think theft is somewhat rare?? so there really isnt much you can do other than secureing it to something solid. even then if somebody wants it bad enough.....its gone. it dont matter much what you do, a thief i once new told me, it has to be simple and quick, (like i said, pick it up, put it in a truck, gone that quick) deterents are good, but dont expect much, if you live someplace where thieves are all around,....get a garage!!!!!! better yet....move!!!! hahahahahaha 2 people i hate more than most anything are thieves and liers and usually where there is one there is the other
