Just checking for insurance for my next Ducati... all these threads only bring a smile to my face. Insurance companies seem to work on reversed common sense. I thought about getting a tracker for piece of mind and lower premium but probably the best is to declare no security and see how it goes. I might end up having a tracker but only to know when the bike is when on hols away from country. Insurance companies, estate agents, traffic wardens... where do you start?

If you just want to know where the bike is then get a cheapo smart phone, less than £60 and running costs under £5 a month and stash it somewhere on the bike.
Make sure that it has the gelocation turned on. Bingo you'll know where it is courtesy of google maps on your main phone unless it happens to be in a big steel box or a mobile deadzone. Then all you need to do is rustle up a posse, take some rope and pay them a visit.

Whatever you do, don`t for f...s sake fit an alarm, or else they will put the premium even more !

Still remain very impressed with BikeTrac - dealer set off the tracker while bike was in for first service, I had a call from Biketrac within 2mins of it going off and all my named contacts called me as a result of receiving their texts.

Been thinking of the new Garmin tracker, £179.99 cost including standard tracking for 1 year then I think it is around £48 per year after that.

Handy, it text me recently saying 'battery disconnected', I guess it just ran low enough to drop off - was able to get the trickle charger on before it ran completely dead which I wouldn't likely have noticed any time soon. |
