The best thing would be to lock it to something bolted down. If you cant do that lock up the front and rear and put a cover over it (usually what people dont see/dont know, they wont steal) and lock the cover. If you can also park your car up close to the bike to make it more difficult to move it. That may sound like a lot but depending on where you live or if there are a lot of Moto theives in your city then it may be worth doing.

Re: Renters, Condo Owners How do you store your bike?
I am in a condo situation. I can park my bike against the wall in my parking space and then drive my car in to share the space. With a car on either side it is highly unlikely it will be removed. A disc lock in on the front wheel so it cannot be rolled.e4gulf wrote:I own a condo and I really want to buy a bike but I am a little leary of storing it in my parking lot. How do I securely store it in a parking lot and protect it from the elements, thieves, and vandalism?
My parking is in an underground parking lot , but if I had to park it outside I would get a proper cover for it.

I'm posting mostly to brag about my long years of Tetris training.
I live in a condo and am assigned a one car garage. If I park the Honda Accord to the very left wall and as far in as possible, then I can squeeze the Yamaha Virago next to the car. That leaves just enough space to park the Ducati Monster crosswise behind the car with just a few centimeters of clearance as the garage door closes.

I found this:
http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycle- ... cle-alarm/
so far. They are reviewing the Cyclone system which looks okay, even though the installation looks a bit much to me. But it has a siren on it, and it has what regular car alarms do and you can push a button to make it chirp to keep people from messing with your bike.
