Glad my CBR is parked in my garage, I have a loud dog that barks, and I have several loaded weapons that would love to be unloaded on the dumb SOB that dares to find out.

I live in the sticks so it's not much of a problem for me!

I guess I can park my Triumph anywhere.

Damn, I'm number 2. :mad:

I'm surprised San Antonio is so bad, I live near San Antonio and I never see bikes out cruisin....hmm, perhaps this is the reason for that.


Anyone else see where it said "Probably about one-fourth of them are stolen with the keys in the ignition," that's not bike theft, that's insurance fraud :rolleyes:

I really have a hard time believing 25% of stolen bikes are because people left the key in them. That's someone who is WAY upside down (typical on bike financing) and their junk found it's way into a lake.
