Guest philgale Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 not used one, but do intend to get a ground anchor,dont tell your insurance company you got one tho, as if you forget to use it one day and your bike gets stolen they wont pay outbest bet tell is to keep quiet about it and use it anyway....

dragolith Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Live in a rough area? Mines completely un secured, aside from Alarm/H.I.S.S and Imobiliser thingy...And kept outdoors in the driveway under a cover.Maybe I should invest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigup Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 hehehtold insurance company that the bike has NO security and is parked off road at my property. Insurance increase from locked garage to off road was only £19 extra so thought why not - with bennetsin reality, it will have a Motrax Vishas disc lock, oxford hardcore chain+lock and is stored in a locked garage and need a anchor for good measure! first bike and all so security has to be OTTgoing to check prices on this anchor, see who has the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
