One of the most effective anti-theft devices you can buy is an alarm.&nbsp;They&#8217;re loud&mdash;usually about 120 decibels. No thief&nbsp;wants to hear that blast. Some attach to the bike&#8217;s disc brakes. Others are placed on their&nbsp;electrical systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;One easy-to-use model arms when you walk away and disarms&nbsp;as you return to your bike. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to be out of earshot, at least one company makes an alarm&nbsp;with a pager that vibrates when the&nbsp;alarm goes even if you&#8217;re up to a one-half mile away from your bike. Some models &quot;report&quot; soundlessly to your smartphone if the alarm goes off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you use&nbsp;a quality chain or cable to&nbsp;fasten your bike, attach it to a heavy&nbsp;object that&#8217;s stationary.&nbsp;Don&#8217;t forget to wrap the fastener&nbsp;enough times so there is no slack to allow a thief to use a cutting tool.&nbsp;Experienced motorcycle experts&nbsp;advise you to use&nbsp;an additional anti-theft&nbsp;device too.<\/p>\n<p>If you park in a public garage, hide your bike behind a car. If you have no garage at home, cover your bike. When riding with a group, try to park all the bikes in the same place. Take&nbsp;the time to protect your motorcycle, and don&#8217;t ride without insurance. DePaulo Agency gladly&nbsp;serves Scotia, NY.
