I agree that bike alarms are, for the most part, a waste of money....If someone wants to steal an 800+lb motorcycle they will do it anyhow, noisy alarms or not...These "ASS HOLE" thieves today can pretty much figure out how to steal anything....If someone ever steals my bike I hope they crash it into a wall/tree, or whatever and buy the farm!!...Harsh but I have very little sympathy for crooks/thieves.....Regards
