I visited the NEC car show a few years ago and asked around the 'security' industry just what they were setting out to achieve with their various products. The best reply I got was 'peace of mind'. Unfortunately the insurance industry has got the jitters and wants some of that too!

Locks and chains may seem to be a good idea, but a few years ago three mates, who had chained their three bikes together, found they had all been nicked! So much for that apparent inconvenience...

The only way I can appease my conscience after the expense of an alarm system is that in addition to the locks, it will give the b******s an earful for a short while. Besides, my first Harley, a kicker only, all too often held me up from my lawful use of it!
