Patrick has spent over 20 years in the motorcycle security industry. Motorcycle security became a passion to Pat and he started The Lockitt Company in April 1999. Use common sense when locking up any vehicle. Always park your bike in a well lit area. Use a locking device appropriate for your bike.
Many people practice wishful thinking and use lightweight locks designed for bicycles or scooters.
When locking your bike, make sure the lock is difficult to reach for the thief, and never leave excess cable or chain on the floor. If you do, you actually provide the thief with a nice working surface. If possible, lock 2 bikes together or lock to a secure object. Even in your garage, lock it to something. It's common knowledge that most thieves prefer not to brake locks on the spot, unless they can do it in a few seconds.
