not at all, he was trying to stop me, i get a bit angry when people overstep their mark! I am the sort of person who takes charge, and gets on with the job
Does anyone use those garage defenders that bolt to the floor outside an up-and-over garage door? I'd say they advertise that the garage is worth breaking into? I've got an oxford defiance ground anchor that has been in its box since March, need to get it fitted!!!
Mines locked and alarmed, squeezed closer than a fart in tight pants across the back of the car, which is locked and alarmed, in a garage which is locked and alarmed, with my other car parked tight up against it, which is locked and alarmed in a cul de sac in another cul de sac, populated by retirees who twitch their curtains if I sneeze and my attack cat. Plus I know places on Dartmoor where you'd never find a body.
security should be inside..if its outside you are advertising that it might be worth getting into IMO
I don't advertise on the front, all I have is a Yale lock, no handle to pull on, when I got dad out of retirement "again" to do the building he made the brickwork door frame like a kind of anti jemmy, can't get any leverage either lock or hinge side, I put this inside, made by our blacksmith at work, good chap that he is This again stops any outward force, I'm actually going to adapt this again, he reckons if I but two staples I can bolt it to the wall, and if anyone gets in from smashing the door in the metal bar will still be attached by two padlocks, and this will prevent them wheeling the bike out. Top chap I reckon.
I put the wife's fiat 500 in front of the door also, but like I said fiat 500, two strong lads and that's that moved isn't it
My babies are locked together in the garage.......... With an 8st american bulldog keeping them company, I swear if anyone is brave/stupid enough to nick or attempt to nick my bikes I'll fill it with fuel and hand them The log book as they ride off, u can't beat a dog for security. And as said extra posts in front of garage doors are all good but they advertise something worth protecting If they want it they'll take it let em have it that's what I pay so much insurance for!!!
Alarmed, Ground Anchored and attached via the swingarm with an Almax chain, secure garage with cctv ( I only had this fitted after the nieghbours kid kept hitting my car with his car door Grrrr) works for both and the garage is alarmed which can only be deactivated from the house ( Took ages to fit that in ) if I forget to arm it, the bikes got a dedicated wall alarm which will run riot if cut or bashed it'll do for now me thinks. lot of gypo's round this way like
Cant blame ya Alistair mate around ur neck of the woods!! Well mine is in the wooden garage at the back of my house with a 99p padlock on the garage door and the keys still in my bike! Goodluck knicking it you would have to put it back together first lol Its nice living up this neck of the woods no crime.
Hey, Arthur mate. Do me a favour and never pay any attention to any voices you might hear in your head, would you.
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
I've found the perfect present for Arthur. The perfect combination of workshop practicality and cyclic rate. I give you the DeWalt M16 37mm Brad Nailer!
Mine lives in a Securit motorbike shed under the carport right next to my front door. The bike shed has three locks, two bolts, internal hinges and a built in ground anchor. The bike is secured by a very thick chain to the ground anchor at the back and has a disc lock on the front. It is also alarmed and I am an exceptionally light sleeper. Of course if someone is determined enough no doubt they would still get it..............but if they do they will have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives:butcher: My insurance excess is £850 kinda scary isn't it.
My baby is in a detached garage (Concrete), at the back of my drive, two 500w lights on the drive, two 150w lights at the back garden, up and over door but with extra locks each side of the frame about 18 inches up from the floor, not as obvious as a garage defender but stops the door being bent upwards, i would not fit a garage defender for the reasons stated. I then had the house alarm extended to the garage so the house alarm goes off, i don't like the idea of the shed alarms run on 2 x AA's !!! I then have a hardie ground anchor and a chain. I also fitted very thick perspex onto the inside of my window frame to make it even harder should they wish to try and get in via the window. All in all, it's not bad but as said the best defence is not to advertise you have a bike, so if you do have a 2012 Repsol blade and decide to give it a quick wash.... do not park it at the bottom of the drive with your DAB radio blasting Nirvana out all day and after it's 15 mins wash, you then leave it there for the rest of the day so the neighbours can admire it..... no no, i clean mine, dry it, lube it then it's back in it's home, away from the prying eyes of any local scum who happen to drive/walk or cycle past, as a lot do now to see if there are any opportunities for later on. There are also lots of reports that come in from the public about scuffy white flat bed vans driving slowly up roads looking up drives..... they are looking for scrap etc but if they do see a nice shiny blade just freshly washed..... guess what they will be doing that evening ! Keep them all safe guys.
