The title of this made me think we were going to learn how to setup a motorcycle on a “lift” / motorcycle hoist. Which I was interested in!

[@kuhndj67]

Lol... me too... I don't ride to places where I am worried about my bike being stolen (cities) and would not carry a security lock because it's extra weight for marginal benefit (seems like most bikes are stolen by getting thrown in the back of a vehicle and even with alarms they're gone in a minute or less so the only thing that might help would be a tracking device) but I DO transport my bikes in my truck regularly and while I think my process is pretty secure it gets there by being 'overkill' (I have 3 different strapping approaches each of which should be able to hold the bike in the bed if the other two failed). Would love to see a video where RevZilla reviews bike lifting/transport strapping/mounting tools and approaches. (Idea for an episode!)

[@RevZilla]

Hmmm.. we do have a "How To Load Your Motorcycle on to a Truck" video, but maybe it's time for an update.

[@LTVoyager]

Me three.

[@jothain]

Exactly I’m disappointed it wasn’t about lift securing…

[@jothain]

@@RevZillahmmm. Securing bike to lift imo is completely different than securing it to truck for moving 🤨

[@georgecatalin138]

Someone who knows about your motorcycle , knows also that the front wheel is easy to remove with proper tools ... so the chain or the block-disk are only protecting the front wheel not the whole bike ... The best way to lock with a chain is by the frame of the bike

[@lylemacdonald6672]

In the age of lithium battery powered grinders even the HD square profile chains are easily defeated. As for a disk lock, lifting the front end and placing the wheel on a small dolly and the bike is easily rolled away into the waiting generic white van. That being said, I use such a chain when my bike is on the trailer being transported along with a factory OEM motion alarm and a full cover. There is only so much one can do. I always thought a trained rattle snake with the bike might be a good idea as a deterrent!

[@aluisious]

I have a U lock through the front axle, with a chain that goes to a carport support with a big padlock on it. Any part of that can be defeated readily enough, but it makes my bike kind of a pain in the ass to steal, which is probably why they took the R6 that only had the steering locked a few spots down instead.

[@johncrauswell1781]

its like locking your front door. it wont stop anyone.

[@baconbaconbobacon]

@@johncrauswell1781 it won't stop, but could deter.

[@troywilliams8659]

A 20 piece bucket of fried chicken on the seat seems to be a good deterrent.

[@jeron9272]

Hide an AirTag with the speaker removed inside the seat

[@triumphbill]

I treat the bike the same way as a car. Have good theft insurance. Piece of mind. If anyone gets it I get a new one minus $500 deductible.

[@cney2125]

Another idea if you don’t have an anchor point is to lock multiple bikes together with that krytonite chain. very difficult to steal attached motorcycles, whether they are ridden away or rolled into a vehicle. A small hidden tracking device like an AirTag doesn’t help with theft but can help with recovery.

[@jeron9272]

Make sure you remove the speaker. It’s pretty easy you just have to open it up and tear it out.

[@witchdoctor6502]

Personally I have the disc lock, more of a deterrent than protection. Also if anyone is using chains, try to not have them lying on the ground as that way it is possible to step on the bolt cutters and generate much greater force than just with hands. Ofc none of the methods will help if someone really wants your motorcycle.

[@Gabe731]

Now that you guys have a shop in NYC, can you do a similar video geared more to urban environments?

[@mooncake8254]

it's nice your team making these types of videos. since i ride a E-Scooter for fun and just get this and that from store. i also bring 2 locks and one car horn/alarm. U lock and some foldable lock i got from apollo scooter. all and all, be careful and keep making more of these review videos! looking forward to more leatt gear reviews. (all my safty gear is leatt. only the gloves it's a different brand.).

[@gamemeister27]

I've heard Pragmasis is the way to go for anchors and chains. They're a UK company, but they do ship internationally.

[@Urk0ZzZ]

Battery angle grinder. Best way to secure its a Theft Insurance

[@henrychua7451]

Lockpicking lawyer will have a field day here. Lmao!

[@Isha048]

Thank you Patrick! Your bike is wonderful, congratulations! I love it!!!

[@bobedwards8896]

iv had a friend get 2 bikes stolen. the 1st we got video of 3 dudes picking it up and putting it in a truck. the second 1 just up and disappeared. I think gps is pretty cheap and small nowadays

[@dadandkids5028]

... or, instead of a disc lock, you can buy a big-ass padlock which on my bike goes around and through the rear disc. $20 gets a good one. I have a neodymium magnet I stick to the ignition switch when it is in place - remove both before riding.

[@gamemeister27]

There's no way it's actually a decent lock at $20. Shackle is probably made of paper and the cylinder will open if you look at it funny.

[@LTVoyager]

The best thing is to ride a bike like my BMW K1200LT that nobody wants to steal. 😂

[@moto-moto]

Lol

[@cristi8183]

The acting is awesome and very funny! :D Great job!

[@JayTheDragonKing]

This was really bare bones I would do these things for a bicycle. Are chains and disc locks all the market has to offer?

[@rottweil74]

Hi passing the chain through the wheel is enaough ?they can remove the wheel and the rest up f the bike ....any solution?

[@coltonwancho6571]

I learned today most people cant read.

[@14wntr]

wth.. I thought this was the best way to secure it on the lift! Not secure it

[@Jagknorr]

What if im afraid someones going to throw my dual sport in the back of a truck when im in a store? 😢

[@Dastardly_X]

🌟

[@mangacusau7019]

get a tracker

[@marsoelflaco5722]

The Hamburglar!

[@HAMILTONPROVIDEO]

The weak point is always the lock.

[@filmcostar]

The HAMBURGLAR

[@Countdown-ct7iv]

Thanks but i was thinking on the lines of getting a bike monkey, from the makers of Trunk monkey.

[@Confedyank]

Howdy dudes

[@KaylaWheelerSkateboarder]

Hmm

[@murraehaynes3182]

We use all of the above plus a GPS tracker

[@johncrauswell1781]

these just seem like a rehash of the shop manual.

[@bethalpha]
