RIDING a motorcycle is pure freedom — cutting through traffic, exploring off-the-beaten-path and embracing the thrill of the open road — but with this freedom comes a real worry for riders: theft.
But keeping your motorcycle safe doesn't have to be tedious; with a few savvy moves, you can make your ride practically untouchable to would-be thieves. Here are some effective and creative ways to secure your motorcycle.

First, use locks. Think of your motorcycle's security like layers of armor. A single lock would be easy to hit, but multiple layers will make it much harder for thieves to crack. There are several options in the market for you to choose from — all of them are highly effective when combined.
Second, go high-tech with GPS tracking. Compact and easy to hide, these devices can be hidden on your bike and help you locate it if it gets stolen.
Third, stay vigilant. Sometimes, the best security is simply being mindful. Always engage your motorcycle's steering lock, even for quick stops. Take off any valuables so they don't catch a thief's eye.
