Need a bike wheel boot - any help?

Well, I needed it yesterday :-(

My beloved ZX-6R has fallen prey to the local chop gangs. Put the cover on around midnight, and at 6am, the bike was gone :x

I used to see a bolt to the floor wheel lock in British bike mags. Anyone know what these are called, or where to get one in the US?

That sucks dude! My unlce just had his Tariler and Quad stolen from his driveway, during the day, when he was home....

Hope the police get some good leads....or your insurance has over valued your bike!

Grrr...

It is probably another color already with the VIN shaved off.

I hear that locally, the only bikes that don't get stolen are Harleys. When one does get stolen, the Harley riders find them. We have, I understand, a bit of a Hell's Angels presence in town.

Being a non-club rider, that is probably of little help to me :-)

I feel your pain, that sucks.

I believe you are thinking of a Ground Anchor. You should be able to get them at any motorcylce dealers/accessories store...

Sorry about the bike. :(

Here's a possible solution for a motorcycle anchor.

What kind of security precautions had you taken for your bike other than a cover?

Kryptonite has one that anchors into a concrete slab :
