There is nothing worse than having your bike stolen especially from your home and that is why CIA Insurance has decided to give you some solid advice when it comes to out smarting motorcycle thieves.
Even if your pride and joy is garaged it helps to fit a sturdy ground anchor and strong locks so if they do break into your garage it will hopefully deter them from continuing with the theft. The longer it takes to free the bike up the more chance there is of the thieves being caught and hopefully that isn't a risk they want to take.
Keep your keys stored out of sight at all times, preferably in a secure place within your home. It has become common place for a home to be targeted and keys for the relevant vehicles liberated giving a clean getaway.
If you store your motorcycle in the garden, cover your bike whenever possible. It is very much a case of "out of site out of mind," if you bike is covered it makes it a lot less noticeable and much less of a target.
For added peace of mind an immobilizer is an excellent purchase and it lowers your motorcycle insurance premium. A cost effective way to add security to your bike is to purchase a ultra-violet pen and mark the main areas of your motorcycle with the registration number or your postcode. You wi8ll need to keep a record of this information as you may need it at a later date.
Security when you are away from home is another issue entirely and where you leave your machine should be carefully considered. Try and use a parking area where there are designated spaces for motorcycles to park as they usually have ground anchors to secure your bike to.
Always put your steering lock on and lock your bike up with the biggest chain you can find as it will act as a determent as much as a security device. A lot of bikers leave their kit attached to their bike which is just giving a thief a few more options. Try and take your possessions with you or find somewhere with a secure locker.
