Old school?? :scratch:shifty Who you calling old school?
I picked up a Scorpio alarm for $660au with remote immobiliser, motion sensor, shock sensor, low battery+ battery tamper sensor. All very user friendly and simple to fit. Came with a small key chain remote with screen. Its powerful enough to transmit from my bike to my office when parked 1block away and 13stories up, if someones tampering with it etc. I can send signals back the bike from there to. Had it for 9months and had no issues yet
Prior to the alarm I'd fit an alarmed disc lock to the front and titanium bike chain to the rear every time I parked, when at my old home the was bolted deep into the drive, havent gotten around to that since moving.
Sydney's got a pretty bad amount of car thefts, I don't feel comfortable leaving the bike anywhere overnight even with the alarm, though without it I know I'd have sleepness nights.
A good mate of mine had his bike stolen from the back of his driveway 20mins after getting home from a ride with us, they probably had his place cased but the bike went even with the alarmed disc lock on and him just upstairs from it. After hearing this I went and got the alarm.
