Never out of earshot, always kryptonite cabled, always self sustainable alarm on. Two friends I frequently travel with have the same cable so we can link them together.

Thanks for the input, seems like nothin has changed over the years, except for the motion sensor alarm.
Keep the ideas flowin.
Thanks again.

I lock the ignition, and the forks. Carry nothing else and have never had a problem. Been all over the country on a bike never had to worry about security.

I use a couple of rotor locks and I park in front of the office door under the canopy of the hotel until they tell me I "can't"

If I can't park by my room, like in the places that have halls and interior room entrance, I will lock it to a pole right outside the office. I normally tell the person working graveyard at the front desk to keep an eye on it and give him a couple beers!

The neatest thing I ever had happen when asking the motel owner about secure area for bike parking he opened up both front doors and said park IN The Lobby ;-) Pretty cool, seeing as I don't own a high dollar bike !!!

Ground floor & the ride is visible from the unit,otherwise fork lock & leave her in the lot hopefully in a well lit area near the front office,I come out n check before sleeping.Never had a problem,yet the places I stayed were fairly out of the way.Plus my Honda is not a high ticket item.Also I carry a full cover for the ride and make sure its covered up and locked on the bottom with a heavy padlock.
Recently someone did attempt to remove one of my leather saddlebags.It is well secured to the brackets so they gave up it looked like, or were out of time to rip it off I figure.

When checking in get a room ground floor so I can park the bike right outside the window. Cable lock wrapped through front and rear wheel and to a pole if possible. Cover the bike so you actually have to come over and pull the cover off to see what it is. No need to advertise what is there.
Same as pretty much everyone else. Get a room I can prk outside of and chain it to a pole. Other than that I have really good insurance on it.
I remove the contents of my saddlebags (I use liners) and tool pouch. Also I lock the forks and use a disc lock. If I can't park it right outside my room, I ask the clerk if I can park it under the porch at the front entrance in view of the night clerk in the front office. There are some good ideas here about chaining it to a pole and covering it up.

Mine is never out of my line of sight. If I can't get a ground floor room with parking right in front of the rooms window, i find somewhere else to sleep. Plus I always keep mine kryptonite cabled and disk locked, then covered and the cover locked down too. Aside from the alarm system on the bike, I also have my conceal carry permit.
