security suggestions???
hey all, i'm a newb here, but not to quads in general... i had an 03 400ex that got stolen last september. now, i'm looking at getting another quad, but want to make sure that the past won't repeat itself. the only place i have right now to store a bike is in my shed, which has 1 regular sized door, and a pair of barn doors... when the EX got stolen, all that was locked was the shed itself. what are some other security measures i can take to ensure the safety of my quad in the future?? thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas :eek:

To me it all depends on how many thieves you want to stop.
Meaning the old rule applies here. If they want it bad enough YOU cannot stop them.
Now then. The brake disc locks are pretty cool for anywhere from 50 to 100 bones. They would not be able to roll it away but if they have a truck and enough people they could always just lift it.
As a combo for you I would do this.
Get a 2 part security setup. Brake Disc Lock and a high quality chain and lock and lock it to a footing and lag that you could cement in to the floor. :-)
Or you could core a big hook lag into the concrete if you have it.
Minimum though Brake Disc Lock

HEy hate to break it to you but as of 3yrs ago you cannot get ATV insurance in MA. I have tried and a few others on here have tried it doesn't exist. My gf's mom is an insurance agent so we know it doesnt exist. As for security I am not to sure as I don't need to deal with that in my area really but I will try and think some stuff up for you.
