Pembroke Pines, Florida is a beautiful community in the Miami area and arguably the ideal place to own and ride a motorcycle. It will get great gas mileage, keep you from being stuck in traffic and also help you to truly enjoy the perfect Miami tropical air while living in paradise. So it’s also important to protect your motorcycle and since Miami is a pretty big city, there is a better chance that someone could try and steal it. Below are some tips for preventing motorcycle theft in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
KEEP IT HIDDEN
Don’t leave your bike out in the open on a major street that people drive or walk by on a regular basis. That will make it a target over time. Instead, park it in a garage, put a cover over it or park it in an area that’s somewhat out of the regular public view. It’s surprisingly easy to do this when you look for places that people won’t notice as easily and motorcycles are relatively small and can fit in a number of hard to access places.
LOCK IT UP
Like with a bicycle, having a lock on a tire will make it difficult if not impossible for a thief to steal it. U locks on the wheel of a motorcycle are almost impossible to pick and will usually require a blowtorch for a few minutes to successfully melt it away, especially without damaging the wheel and tire of the motorcycle itself. Because of this, just seeing a lock or anchor on the tire of a motorcycle will dissuade an interested thief from stealing it.
INSTALL A TRACKING SYSTEM
Installing a GPS tracking system will make it much easier for police to recover the motorcycle, at least before it goes into a chop shop. While this won’t prevent theft necessarily, it will make the chances of finding it better and make your insurance cheaper. And on that note, it’s critical to have an insurance policy for your motorcycle that covers you if it is stolen.
