How I Secure My Bike In London - Tips - Yamaha R1 Motovlog

[@Banana-us2ss]

main reason i park on motorcycle bays is that if someone tries to steal my bike, i might get lucky and an other rider sees them and stop em, as I would do it if i see someone stealing the bike next to mine, we r a very good community and there is no shame on taking advantage of it. love ur vid

[@TKRydezz]

@@Banana-us2ss yup…. The more eyes the more voices and the more fists and boots the better. Appreciate it bro

[@DanVee1]

Also, motorcycle bays give thieves a choice. If your bike looks more effort to steal, they'll take a glance and move on. More locks the better.. deterrents are essential.

[@TKRydezz]

@ I experience this, my bike got looked over because of 2 locks to a another bike without any a few down. Buss the steering lock and ran it round the corner. Edit: The English language left my body for a moment there on that one.

[@DanVee1]

@TKRydezz once that steering lock goes, insurance will mark it down as a write off in most cases. Rather they go for the gazillion locks on my bike first.

[@TKRydezz]

@@DanVee1 I can imagine after another comment mentioned how it cost like 1500/2000 to repair on an MT07 as a whole lot has to be changed

One of the main reasons i keep the stock mirrors on all my bikes is in order to always be able to see well when 2 man up on a moped pull up

[@TKRydezz]

Yh, I doubt id get rid of these stock mirrors unless I find another pair that gives me a similar view. The way I ride sometimes requires me to have a good view of where I’ve been (or if I’m being chased)

[@SwenglishSteve650]

Yeah man I feel ya, mine is parked on the side of the road at night also & I have the same approach, as like you say, determined people will just turn up in a van and 3 guys lift it on the back, all you can do is make it a pain in the backside for them to turn their eye to another bike, I can recommend covering it though, studies have shown that it deters up 50% of opportunists instantly, I have 4 separate locks, a 120db alarm , steering lock & cover, random vandalism also is pain..Good post, best of luck guy!

[@TKRydezz]

@@SwenglishSteve650 it’s got to be done. A cover is definitely the way. My disk lock alarm kept going off randomly so I got rid of it for the one I keep in my bag but will replace it at some point. And yup, few blokes and a van and the bike is in the wind, so can’t stress having even the cheapest of trackers on it. Even if they find it, the chances of you knowing where your bike went/ was last pinged could be the difference between Geri g it back or not.

Useful video. I holidayed in Crete recently. Thousands of bikes of all shapes and sizes, from mopeds to scooters to Beemers and Ducati Multistradas. In 10 days I saw ONE chain and ONE disc lock. Many riders just left their crash helmet loose on their bike. Why is there virtually zero bike theft in Crete but an out of control epidemic in British cities?

[@TKRydezz]

@@m2menuiserie540 I would say, Crete just sound like a better place to live. Better weather and better community values and probably not as expensive in comparison. London, everyone is on top of each other, not everyone has the same opportunities and more people are miserable. As a result, a lot of people choose to do the ‘easy’ life and take rather than earn and I feel that the youth have been abandoned by society and have allowed them to get swallowed up by the underworld. But that’s a topic in itself.

Yes TK. Good video. I was put off jumping back on the bikes because of all the bike thefts happening in London, but can’t live life in fear. Gotta layer up that security.

[@TKRydezz]

@@1Gee2008 cheers bro. The first time I rode near the Liverpool Street area and had a 5min walk to the spot from where my bike was… I was paranoid. Having the cheaper tracker in there put me at ease as I’d check it from time to time. I’m more at ease now and just have to get on with it. Can’t let them win by keeping me off the roads through fear of having to get an Uber home. But you got a solid lock and a cover, just sort a way to track it and you’ll be good. Hopefully

[@adderhoney]

Good video and good advice: some security is better than none at all. However, all of your deterrents would mean that your bike would be gone in 300 seconds, instead of 60 seconds. Solution? Rent a space in a secure underground compound in a car park, patrolled 24/7 by security guards, instead of parking it on the street. It is simply impossible to keep your bike truly secure when it is parked on the road.

[@TKRydezz]

@@adderhoney for sure…. Renting a space isn’t practical for everyone though so just gotta do the best they can. I’m lucky that the places I actually/ mostly go, I’m either not too far from the bike or I have off street parking.

[@specialandroid1603]

I parked my old Honda CB550/4 in a London car park chained to a lampost. When i got back someone had tried to nick it. The chain to the lampost was cut and the ignition was on but they could not start it. Thats because I had fitted a hidden on/off switch to the low tension ignition circuit (not suggesting you do this). Rather than leave it alone they set about smashing the clocks up on the bike. It cost me a bit to repair but i got to keep my bike. Never parked it like that again. Some time later it got turned into a 4 into 2 because of a careless van driver. Shame.

[@TKRydezz]

Not only are they cxnts but they wer bitter too. Can’t just accept defeat and move on they have to do extra. Sucks with the van too. What you riding now?

[@NightingaleBrawlhalla]

I think getting a cover is honestly a simple and easy deterrent, if they can't see the fact it's a nice bike it will deter them more. The nicer the bike the more they are wanna going to knab it. So it's good to carry a simple light weight cover, you can get a cheap light one that goes over your bike, i then put 2 slits in the sheet so i can line it up with the back tyre then slip it through the cover and around the tyre at the same time. A simple chain and cover most of the time is going to deter them, thieves will go for the least resistance.

And now I know where you keep it, and what equipment you use to keep it safe lol. All over the internet - genius. Thin a** cheap chain, less than 14mm is easily cropped. Disc locks take me a hammer to get off - don’t bother. Even best on the market, just cut the brake disc. Easy - push it off. X1 is okay, but x3 is the one that takes multi-diamond discs. And those brake grip locks are hilariously useless.

[@TKRydezz]

@@aps-pictures9335 this goes to the point I made in the very beginning, if someone wants it, they will take it. There’s no illusion there. Does that mean you do nothing at all and make it easy for them? So if you were to come for the bike (£50 if you send me a pic of it there), you will need your crops, a hammer, something to cut the brake disc and something for the brake locks. The average opportunist isn’t walking around with all that and the average street criminal WILL be deterred if they are not tooled up. Perfect solution would be to not have a bike, that way nobody can steal it, but if you do, deterring the criminal who is not driving around with power tools and a garage tool box is the priority. If all that fails, you can hopefully track it, but then if that fails at least you tried. Perfect example is bait cars. Some of these people only go for it because the keys are in it and the doors/ windows are open. These same people who have the capacity for this would just walk off if the car was locked.

Crime is one of the reasons I left London 3 years ago. Since then I've gotten my bike license - Rode back down to London once to see my best friend who was on his deathbed last year. Can honestly say I've never been more worried about my bike being stolen. Luckily it wasn't. But yeah, I feel sorry for anyone who has to be in London for work. Great place to visit, horrible place to live. EDIT: My grammar is trash.

[@TKRydezz]

@@MotoHikes grammar looks fine if you haven’t changed it. I don’t worry as much now as I did when I first got it, now with trackers installed I worry less. Still conscious of the possibility but can’t live in fear.

[@MotoHikes]

@@TKRydezz Lol yeah, I fixed the grammar. It's still a massive problem near me in Leicestershire. Loughborough is just over the M1 and as per a freedom of info act, there was 216 motorbike thefts there last year. They tried to have mine, caught them in the act, and then found another job elsewhere. It's absolutely rife up and down the country, just wish the courts would deal out harsher sentences to those who are arrested for it.

[@TKRydezz]

@@WholeWorld930 brilliant, we have an insider. Jammers are defo a thing. More common in car theft as there’s far more money in that. Hopefully their kit runs out of batteries and it pings when they stop off at mums to pick up their washed boxers and fall asleep on the sofa…. 😃

Just so you know, you can defeat a lever lock just by undoing the bleed nipple on the brake calipers Any decent disk lock is a far better option Keeping constant pressure on your lever isn't good for your master cylinder.

@@thatwolffe3802 I’ve seen where they just undo the lever full stop. As for the comment on the master cylinder, although I’ve thought about this I’ve not actually looked into it. May look into it and possible use on the clutch side or not at all if I feel it’s gonna be damaging. Good shout, thanks

What’s the length of your chain lock bro?

@@NanaAmankwatia-g5s I think it’s about 1m. I could do with longer but what I’m looking to do is get one of those loop chains. They will take up a similar amount of space in your bag but can reach further. Good to couple with a solid lock or a Litelok/ Hiplok

[@NanaAmankwatia-g5s]

Sounds solid

[@borisj]

The worst part is that insurance companies will not care how many locks and security devices you have, past a certain point. I'm sure you'd pay £2.5k a year for comprehensive for this baby if you didn't have a garage. I stopped insuring mine against theft. It's third-party only and I have 5 security devices. London is fucked when it comes to owning a bike (if you don't have a lockup garage, that is).

[@TKRydezz]

@@borisj for me, fully comp was way cheaper than third party which shocked me initially, I go through the scenarios in my last vid about costs. Tbh, when I was doing comparisons for insurance, the amount of security listed was making some difference, but then if something happens and you admit that you didn’t use just 1 of the 10 locks listed then they will wiggle out of covering you fully. It’s a messy game but until I can buy my own island, just gotta live with it

I always locked my bike with at least 4 locks (heavy-duty chains (front and back wheel) , disc locks (front and back wheel), and throttle lock.

Rule #1 in London, have a bike people do not want to steal. I.e. that PCX125 next to yours is more likely to get stolen. 125s scooters get stolen like crazy. That also affects insurance, PCX125 is more expensive to insure in London than MT07. How effed up that situation is.

We shield our pins, lock our doors, put padlocks on our cases when we travel and so on, this is just a another small effort to protect the things important to us. Now most of us don’t go around in fear of it all the time, it’s just that we are conscious of it and just add a few extra steps to our journeys. Even with those steps the journeys are quicker and often more enjoyable.
