    I got this link today and thought is would be good to share since I have seen several posts in the past about potential MC theft. All I know is what is in the add but it might lend a bit of comfort to find your missing vehicle.

    I also think that this can be used as a tracker when on trips and such so those that need to know can find you.

    It’s been going the opposite way here. Thieves sticking one of those cheap ones onto your bike and tracking it back to its base.

    And if these bad guys come for your bike, I hope you get the chance to smash face, and kick 'em in the nuts. :Fencing:

    I severely doubt they will as I live in the middle of nowhere, it would take too much effort to get there. Besides I don't frequent central England where most of this happen to be taking place. Also handy when you work out of the same building as the police.

    For the life of me, I don't know why you would even consider kicking them in the nuts. I keep a very dull rusted butter knife around just of the purpose of de-nutting.

    I do like this device though. A consideration for my truck. Bike is worth more to me stolen that saved. I read somewhere that there was a tracking chip available somewhere in the UK that is extremely small that will locate your stolen goods. It is just a chip so would be good for bicycles too. After loosing two expensive bicycles to fukking homeless, druggie thieves, I am thinking about doing more research on that too.

    You would likely get a reduction on your insurance rates as well if you have one of these installed.

    It only updates every ten minutes while the vehicle is in motion. No thanks. I'll stick with live feed.
