Let's just say that it got alot of boo's. The first sceen shows a guy on an aprilia doing a wheelie between 2 cars at 150. They have lots of sceens where they take street bikes off road but you can totally tell that they are dirtbikes by the suspension with fairings on them. Alot of stupid riding and mission impossible kind of stunts where they are spinning on their front wheel spinning their back wheels at eachother fighting. Jesse James makes an short apperance. 2 bikes are west coast choppers and the rest are nothing special. Bikes get destroyed left and right. Everyone made fun of it as we left.

When get got out to the parking lot we got our suprise ending. 2 bikes got stolen while we were in the movies. An Rc51 and a cromed out Gsx-r 1k. I out a wheel lock on mine so I don't know if that prevented anyone from getting it but I really felt bad for the guys who's bikes were gone.

Lol, the wheel locks are great but dont stop any one from using a flat bed and a few buddies, but deffeently having a lock will make thiefs look for easier targets if there in the area. Good warning to im sure lota guys knew those bikes would be there cuz of that movie etc so watchout when going to those kinds of events.

Note to self: Never park your bike at the movies without Krypto lock thru swingarm and wheel and a Krypto cable to a steel post. It takes one guy to slide it onto a tailgate lift and be gone before anyone could even think of asking questions.... A red blinking LED can prevent alot of thefts too....

One question, what the hell is a red blinking light going to do when 4 guys with poles are ready to lift your bike up into a U-haul truck? Seriously, when i ride, i ride around and take it right back home.

Man that does suck. I dunno why but alot of bikers here in the area wanta go see that movie just because it does have bikes in it.

Hey cvlighthouse, does your rad light stay on all the time or do you have a switch for it? Also, how long do the batteries last on it?

And where would you put the cable when you are on the bike? Doesn't seem like we have room for it.

Carry a backpack or get a tankbag. Small price to pay for the security of your bike

Ahem, I don't know what your doing hanging out with an ex-bike thief, but if i were a thief, id take whatever i want, whenever i want, and no red flashing dot is going to stop me. It makes em thing twice, but it won't stop them from getting what they want.

Ya, I was interrogating him from a jail cell.. j/k
so...... are you telling me that it makes them think twice about touching the bike or are you telling me that I should take it off because its worthless?

Take it off..it's slowing your 0-60!

:roll: J/k! I think it's a good idea...my one question with yours is...it's kinda hard to see it right? I mean, its kinda tucked behind the right fairing. Did you think about popping a little whole in the gas tank cover (Maybe in the chin cut out)? I think that's where I've seen the actual lights for bike alarms before. Or maybe sticking it near the gauges? I'm guessing it's easier the way you did it and you wouldn't have to hurt the plastics. Am I right? Has anyone else done this? What about an alarm sticker near the gauges? Like, "Bike protected by .... alarm systems" Think that'd help?

Just seeing the previews for Torque are reason enough to stay away. Bikes riding on top of semi's and doing mid-air flips? - give me a break. Of course Jaime Pressly is in it so at least there's something to look at. :D

"RR" Thats exactly what I said when I first seen the previews, but my wife got mad at me and said that its just a movie and that I take everything to serious, but then again she thought that the Fast and the Furiuos was good :shock: so that comment meant nothing 8).
