DON’T LET MOTORBIKE THIEVES TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE
24 July 2004 - ABUS

In support of National Motorbike Week, ABUS - Europe’s leading name in padlocks and security – is highlighting to bikers the importance of securing their motorbike against theft.

National Motorbike Week – which runs from 25 to 31 July - is being launched to promote the benefits of motorcycling, and with over 1.5million motorbikes on the road it is obviously an enjoyable form of transport for many.

But according to research, as many as 50% of riders do not ensure their bikes are locked before leaving them, giving thieves an open opportunity to enjoy the benefits of taking someone else’s motorbike for a spin!

For locking up your motorcycle at home, ABUS encourages bikers to secure them using its award winning WBA100 fixing anchor in combination with an ABUS lock and chain. Winning Thatcham approval and a Gold Award from Sold Secure this wall anchor is designed to be fixed to the floor or the wall in your garage, or on the outside of the house or drive. The WBA100 has a moving 16mm steel shackle of hardened special steel giving top security; and its flat shape means that it can be driven over by a car, causing minimal inconvenience on the drive or in the garage.

An ideal motorcycle partner for the ABUS wall anchor is the ABUS 59 Granit Extreme. 12mm of hardened and protected hexagonal chain links directly into the lock body offering the most extreme resistance to cutting or pulling attack, coupled with an ABUS Plus lock mechanism with over 250,000 key differs proven to be manually unpickable. For mobile convenience the 59 Extreme is also available with a robust carry case.

Research shows that motorbikes are four times more likely to be stolen than the average vehicle, so don’t give the thieves an easy ride. These simple and cost-effective precautions are a trouble-free way to increase the security of your pride and joy.
