These use bluetooth/rfid rather than GPS. Bonus is they use very little power but also have a very short range and rely on other units nearby, to triangulate.
I can't believe everyone just stood around videoing that R1 being nicked in plain daylight. It was a group of kids doing it as well. I would have broken their damn legs if I'd come across that, not take a bloody video.
IMHO if its insured why bother? Do you want it back and do you want to really go looking for the scum that nicked it? If its an endure or track bike, yep get that. Or if the only way to insure (maybe a Desmo) was to have one or the disount was healthy enough to cover the cost and the insurer picks up the hassle with plod I saw that video, and its terrible so many stood aside while it happened in such a busy road. Scum like this have no fear of police or law at all. What's the answer?! Personally, rather than a tracker, I think we should wire it upto some high voltage source so if its touched without the key present the bastards get a right shock (sic)
The difference it makes to some people's insurance who have had bikes nicked is huge! So the owner carries on suffering long after the bike is lifted.
Having seen the videos and heard stories of them even bike jacking you whilst riding, one of my work screwdrivers (snap-on no less, more than the cunts deserve :tearsofjoy remains easily accessible.
My issue with it apart from the cost is th Just out of interest, where abouts in the country are you?
:tearsofjoy: I may not have a tracker yet, but I do have enough weapon like objects to have another crack at the falklands
Shit! I'd never thought about being bike jacked! I might look into devising some sort of concealed bike mounted holster in which to keep an assortment of torturous weapons. Probably not a good idea keeping it on you in case of an accident, don't want to puncture any vital organs with a 12" screwdriver stuffed down your pants. :Woot:
I've got a dodgy ciggie socket to USB connector that gives off enough RF interference to give an immobiliser fault code if I try to start the bike when it's already plugged in. Anyone tries to bikejack it and I'll hit the kill switch. They won't know to unplug the ciggie adapter [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Except half the pikeys in the U.K. Live there And don't see how getting a back back, to then claim, will reduce further premiums just because it was recovered.
They come from elsewhere for our posh people bikes and then ride around churning up our beautifully kept lawns [emoji107] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
