Securing motorbikes

Serious question, my motocross bike is secured with good quality chains & locks, a ground anchor, 3 (I
had 3!) disc locks & very good quality HD CCTV right above it. Is there anything else you folk do to
secure your bikes.

You could leave the address of a different, less well protected example
of your bike on a sign above the garage door ?

Please, serious answers only.

Nothing.

You've already got two more chains and locks than I would require.
Perhaps "good quality" isn't quite good enough ? Are they sold secure
certified ?

I wouldn't trust "sold secure", it doesn't seem to be worth much.

As a starting point it's probably worth it. A couple of magazine tests
will help too. I remember buying my squire SS65 because it lasted a
couple of seconds longer than the competition in a number of tests. I
think the chains were much of muchness but the lock was the important piece.

Yes and no. Yes, in that if you buy it thinking "oh, that's secure now
it's got a sold secure thing on it" you'll be disappointed if it goes.
No, that it's an indication it'll deter a common theif.

I suspect that pretty much anything mechanical, practical and at
reasonable cost will be susceptible to a determined pro theif.

Oh, in that case you might want to consider this. If the security that
you've listed isn't enough to deter the scrotes round your way then if
you do manage to stop them nicking it when it's locked up you are quite
possibly going to get the tar beaten out of you one day when you
prepare to ride off / return from a ride.

Fit a less pikey area round your bike.

Also, Given a garage, you can block the bike in with a car (as
previously suggested). That's going to make the whole thing a right
PITA for anyone trying to take it.

Actually while talking to a security expert recently I was told that the
car might delay them by 30-60 seconds.

I'd have hoped for more from mine because :

A) There's a big alarm on it - which is loud and annoying and paranoid
when people are in the garage.
B) The car is heavy, which probably doesn't matter except...
C) The driveway slopes downwards, so moving the car out of the way
without an engine requires pushing the thing up a roughly 2 foot
incline.

Either way, I'd put more faith in the ground anchor and Big Ass Lock n
Chain (tm) than the car being in the way.

I hadn't actually considered that they'd probably damage the car to
steal the bike. That would suck.
