exactly!?!

its also fairly easy, depending on make/model (for those with muscles) to break the lock by turning the wheel hard with both arms. not for any dodgy reason, but me and a mate have done it several times.

Bahahahahaha the bike weigh's a lil short of 200kg and it sit's right next to the bedroom window so if they can move it with out making a noise taking the cover off and lifting it away then they pretty good cause I'm sure the dog's will here them :D Oh and the Alarm has a Shock Sensor and Mercury Switch so once the Bike is taken off it Stand the Alarm with be set off :lol:
