Hey guys,
Tonight is the first night that I will be parking my 2004 FZ6 in the Chicago area. I have the bike on the street right now, but the looming fear of someone coming by and nicking my bike is haunting me!
With that being said, does anyone have advice for me in terms of ensuring the maximum amount of security for my bike?
I currently have a gorilla alarm installed on the bike, a disc lock on the front wheel and two bicycle chains on the rear wheel and swingarm (I have a Kryptonite U-Lock on a bicycle I keep at my university, and I was planning on swapping the chains for the U-Lock.) On top of that, I have a ratty motorcycle cover.
In terms of where I can park; there is a car-busy street right around the corner, a pedestrian busy street two blocks away, the front of my apartment building (Where I am keeping it right now.) and the apartment garage in the back alley.
I'm on the third floor of the apartment and there is definitely room in the garage for my bike: However, the neighbors are dead set on always leaving the damn garage door open overnight. Thus, I felt a little uncomfortable leaving the motorcycle in a quiet, secluded and dark alley with the garage door wide open.
I'm sorry if this is too much information at once, but the willies are killing me!
