My experiences as a newbie

Hey man, i know how you feel about taking it to work. I work at the grocery store ( while in college, no crappy job jokes :) ) Anyway, I bought a gixxer 600 and love driving it. Needless to say I drive it to work. The first day I got it i had a disc lock and locked the forks on it. That wasnt enough for me, I was out there checking it every ten min. and hardly getting any work done so i knew i had to do something better. Pretty soon word had gotten around to all the managers that i had gotten a bike and they all liked it so i started parking it on the sidewalk outside the front doors. I made sure all the managers had seen it out there and none of them cared or even hinted to me to move it. So having it parked out front where i can go take a peek at it and make sure everything is allright is a big-time reassurance. I usually go take a peek every hour or two. I also put my cellphone in the storage compartment. It had GPS on it and tracking software, so even if the police cant/refuse to track it, i can always track it myself and inform them where the bike is. I love driving the bike and thats where i get my peace of mind while im at work. I can provide the link for the tracking software if anyone is interested. Good Luck and awesome bike. :headbang
 
Ok, heres the link. http://www.accutracking.com/ This is the one i use. Please keep in mind that to use this you must have data transfer as part of your plan. I've found that it will connect to the satelites without having data transfer on your phone so you can just leave the program running in the background and if anything bad should happen you can just call up nextel and activate it and you should be able to track it. I thought i should also throw this in my post. http://www.cycletrak.com/ This seems to be a very reliable alternative if you dont have a gps phone or if money just happens to grow on trees for you. I think I'll probably get this soon just for the extra piece of mind. The only thing holding me back is the price. It's a bit expensive but I guess its a lot cheaper then a whole new bike. It's a bike alarm along with some pretty advanced gps. It has geo-fencing which i think means if your bike goes out of a certian boundry it automaticly notifies the police. Anyway it costs about $500 then an activation fee and i think $60 a year. Take a look for yourself and G/L with the bike. Keep us posted :headbang
