No its not your family, be honest now, its your FZ6.
I was writing this as a reply to KnuckleBallz's "They Took my Baby" thread, and it occured to me that many of you are probably not on Reddit or reading his thread and may want to see this information.
Basically the guy doing the AMA(Ask Me Anything) used to be a bike thief and chop shop owner. He talks very candidly about what was easy or difficult to steal, what sold for the most, or was a high target motorcycle, exc. And as the title suggests, he answered just about any question that was asked of him.
EX Thief & "chop-shop" operator AMA : motorcycles
He does say the things he actually uses himself is one of the massive hardened chains thats like $200, and a Xena disc alarm.
He also points out things like, if your bike is stolen you should just hope that it isn't recovered because the damage to it is usually very extensive. And he said that he wouldn't want back a bike that he had stolen.
But that is just a very shortened version, there is a ton of good information in there.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading this. It completely changed how I approach protecting a motorcycle.
