FINALLY...got my new bike

[*GhostRide37]

thats correct. after weeks of searching around for what i like the most and whats the best value i just picked up a black/yellow 2005 gsxr 750 from a private seller. 4500 miles. only $5000 plus 2 helmets and all the stock parts included (has double bubble screen and yoshi pipe). excited to get back out there on the road...and be shitted on because i now ride a gixxah no pics yet but ill have some eventually after im back from vaca on the cape

[*GhostRide37]

ALSO if anyone has or knows someone who has some sort of bike alarm please let me know what kind and if its worth it. just curious. thank you

[Jaynnus]

I've got a disc lock on the front rotor. Bitches if you move the bike. 2 seconds max to get on or off, can't really hurt. I don't think the alarm portion is overly useful as it's not too terribly loud, but it does keep the bike from rolling, which makes it less convenient to steal. It's a "can't hurt" kind of thing to me.

yea i was looking into those a little bit...seems like more of an alarm to scare away anyone moving it than an alarm to wake you up at night or something.

thanks

well if you don't want to go for a full alarm install check out this lock W/ a paging alarm, simply with long distance alert

[Kawibaby7]

[Kenn157]

Congrats! I dunno about the 2 helmets... If used they aint bent to fit the head!

[brendanp]

Gixxers rule dude, no slack from me! Congrats

For the price of a good alarm couldn't you just get Lojack? I haven't priced either alarms or lojack recently but just something to think about. Seems like lojack would have better odds of getting your bike back but I'm just speculating here.

Oh, and congrats on the GSXR. Welcome to the club. Once you go GSXR, you never go back.

Sucks about the bike...Hyannis isnt a bad place..More to do in that town then most of them on the Cape. My Parents live in Centerville just the next town over.

Dan (dcen) has an alarm on his 600rr. he hasnt gone with us to newbury st this year yet, but i can ask what he's got.

[*GhostRide37]

yea weve ridden with him before. he has a keychain activation one and when you press it its like "beepbeepbeep alarm activated". sounds like some bat mobile stuff.

but yeah idk how much lojack is either but ill be looking into it

[tom3040]

Congrats on the purchase.

I looked into lojack its around $500 plus early fees i believe.

Youll never use all the power.

[Pittenger5]

Oh and for alarm, I had one on my 636, umm, if they're gonna steal the bike, that aint gonna stop them. Only time I used it was when I parked it at school so no body would sit on it or anything.

Ghost congrats, time to update you avatar!!!

Ben, make sure you do another side mounted plate so everyone on NESR can give you shit again
