I was interested in just how useful that chain bolting the 6 to the ground actually is if someone really wants to take her.

I considered an alarm last year for the GS but decided it probably wasn't worth it.

Will install one on the 6 tho!

I have a cheap alarm. Stops dickheads from messing with the bike when its parked. Ill also know if someones nicking it from the garage (provided im home)

It would be easy as to bypass, but if someones willing to scope the bike out and see that it has an alarm, theyre getting it no matter what.
Id also like to see anyone get the seat off without setting off the alarm, its so bloody sensitive you cant even touch the back end of the bike.

If they want it, it will be gone. Alarm is no good inside a padded van, no chain can stand up to liquid nitrogen and a hammer. It's about making it hard enough that the thief just goes after something else.
