Preventing Motorcycle Theft
Motorcycle theft is a serious problem that can be extremely aggravating for any biker. According to the available statistics, motorcycle thefts occurred at an average rate of more than 7 per hour during the years 2006-2008. The recovery rate for stolen bikes has also slipped, so each theft has the potential to leave a motorcycle owner with no bike, no recourse, and at a loss totaling tens of thousands of dollars.
