I used the search function, and most of the topics were pretty dated. As this subject can be related to any bike, I thought that this was the most appropriate spot. Is anyone out there using a tracker or anything else on thier bike? My best friend thinks that full coverage is his protection, and while many may agree, I can't subscribe to that. If my bike is stolen, and I have to make a claim, ---- they'll NEVER pay me what the bike is worth. Not really. They never pay full price for replacement, all the things that I have added, etc... and... my rate is bad enough and after paying my claim, they'll jack up my rate or drop me all together. Thefts are through the roof in my area, so I'm thinking about taking some extra precautions. While nothing is perfect or works all the time, doing nothing is asking for it.
Is anyone using some sort of security? If so, what, and how do you like it? I tried an invoxia gps tracker by putting in the little lady's car, hanging from the mirror.... sucked is an understatement, so it was returned. It saw the car at home, alert when it moved, but it disappeared for 5 miles, to reappear and disappear again. Well, she was at work, 22 miles from home, and the tracker had her 10 miles north. 2 hours later, she appeared at work...
Youtube is so full of compensated click bait that I take it with a grain of salt. Bennets UK puts out some great reviews, but most of their stuff is UK only. A question sent to progressive insurance came back with garbage about lojack. They don't have lojack for bikes, they discontinued it.
So, again, how about an updated thread? What ya got, and how's it doing? Details as far as subscription etc would be nice....
