Thanks for the kind words mikerotube.

Great video as always. I wonder if an Apple AirTag would be a cheap tracking option for your motorcycle? While not GPS, they seem to work well for a lot of people.

AirTags may help track, if thieves have iphones or take your motorcycle to a chop shop where there are iphones nearby. Pro thieves will turn off their phones and process the motorcycle in a place without connectivity (e.g. inside a grounded steel container/faraday cage). I would use it as part of a security in depth strategy, with other tracker as well (monimoto and invoxia have low yearly cost)

Michael, That sounds like a good tip to me.

Don't count on any hydraulic mechanism to keep your motorcycle from riding downhill.

Tony, Sounds like you may know something I don't. Of course a brake line can be cut or fail (which I've personally never experienced in more than 30 years of riding) but barring mechanical failure or vandalism, would a compressed disc brake lever not hold a bike in place? Or are you referring to common sense, as in never park a bike pointed downhill or on a steep incline if it can be avoided?
