Hi Guys,
Well i know i will be getting my retro Baotain for me Bday. Now i was thinking about security and how you guys feel about it.
Are you a prison warden with your moped or do you feel that are culture would not dare harm your moped!!
My Friend says that i need two hefty chains on it and he hopes it has and immobilizer on it! Does it come with one as standard???
Cheers
James
P.S Hey my first karma, for what i don't have a clue!

Alarms and immobilisers are ok but you really need a big chain so the tossers cant move it #thumbs_up#

A chain on both wheels will do the trick and always try to chain it to a lampost.

I have an alarm, a big heavy hardcore oxford chain for the back wheel to a lampost, side stand down for those rookie scooter people who try to nick it and a disc lock on the front. Maximum security #thumbs_up#

I live in Upminster North East London.
Near the M25.
Well i would say it's alot less rough than east london but it's not a world class area!
It's ok and it's not that bad but there are a few thugs about!!

I use a bloody big chain and a disc lock through the back wheel. I usaully chain it to something like a railing or lamp post. If I can't find anything solid, I chain it to something BIG and hard to manouver chained to a scooter! (ladders etc)

I forgot i had the chain on through thhe back wheel and as i went to set off it got jammed really tightly.I took me ages to get it off. Probaly didnt do wonders for my bike either  |
