The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

That's what I figured as well. Though there are better things to take for a joyride(super sports for one). I'd also imagine the chain would be relatively tough to cut through without expensive and bulky equipment, even if the scooter itself is removed from its spot. IIRC, the interviewed thief found...

I think the big questions here are: 1) Has anyone here had their PCX stolen? 2) Would you say the PCX is a bigger target of theft than say, a Honda Rebel? Because I'm reasonably sure that the only way to steal mine with my intended setup is by tossing the entire thing into a van or pickup. Thus casu...

I had a friend who had that kind of problem and this is what he did: he bought a dog tiedown post that screws into the ground. The post has a body that looks like an auger, mesning that you screw it into the ground. He dug a hole, got some quick drying concrete, placed the post in the hole and fill...

Someone once told me that locks are only a deterrent for honest people because crooks are going to get past the locks if they really want it. I seems like you are quite concerned about the potential of theft even though, according you, the crime rate is quite low. Just a question, but are you robbi...

Concur with dasshreddar; before I'd spend that much on chains and whatnot, I'd look for a nicer place to live, or reduce the comprehensive deductible on my insurance. If somebody REALLY wants the scooter that badly, they'll know how to defeat all that stuff on your list, anyway. Erm, nice places to...

I get it. My thinking is that if it takes me an extra minute to get on my bike. Over time, That will be a hell of a lot of wasted minutes. With a low probability rate, id risk it. You sound like you have all the basis covered, except for your own opportunity cost. How precious is your own time? If ...

Chain up to your rear wheel, sorted

Yes, which has to be checked with the board at the next board meeting, in September. Did I mention what a pain the HOA is?

Wow, and here I thought crime in South Africa was bad.... I have an alarm disc lock which I never use and a 3mm thick bicycle cable lock which I have used twice in the last 2month. I park in a locked garage, which is behind security gates in my apartment complex. I leave my keys on the bike when it...

o_O Seriously you should move out of the city/find a safer apartment complex. Rent a room/house and park your PCX next to your bed. Given that I already signed the mortgage... well, you can figure out the rest. Again, it's not an ideal situation, but I figure from a logical perspective, the cover i...

It kind of is. Violent crimes are pretty much nonexistent. Gangs? Local ethnic minority punks is about as worse as it gets. Here's the thing though: I've seen bicycle parts still locked to a bike frame, minus whatever parts weren't locked down tight. Funny thing? The parts still locked to the frame ...

Forget security, locks and suchlike are just a nuisance to put on and off. Just get good insurance. Isn't that just a time factor? I figure the chain(maybe locking 2 padlocks) would take about as much time as putting on my Abus Citychain 1010 and Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-Bar lock around...

One limiting factor is that I'm not sure how desirable the market is for PCX parts. There's a good 10 sellers on the local craigslist for used PCX scooters, but I'm not sure if that's even remotely comparable to starter bikes like the Honda Rebel or Yamaha V-Star 250(both notably listed on the top 5...

The security: 2x Protector 13mm - 8.2' (2.5m) Boron Steel Noose chain = 2 x $267 3x Squire SS50CS Stronghold High Security padlock = 3 x $98 Dowco Guardian Weatherall Plus Large Cover = $79 Dowco Alarm Unit for Weatherall Plus covers = $18 ABUS 83WP/63 Weatherproof House-Key padlock(to lock cover) =...
