GPS tracker

Post by aisgsimon »

anyone ever used something like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Realtime-GPS- ... 5731.m3795

Before i finaly get to replacing my exhasut and retrieving my bike from its temporary home in a colleauges garage following theft and recovery, i was going to buy one of these to stick on and a CCTV camera for my window. (already purchased a good disc lock and will buy another alarmed one too)

Any thoughts?

It'll get ripped off at the first opportunity IMO

Make the bike hard to get to, hard to steal time & noise wise, chains, alarm disc locks, alarmed garages , hungry attack dogs and tesla coil towers ...

Oh And make sure your doors are locked at night.......

Speak to Shirlaws. They have some sub £100 models that are pay as you go mobile tracking.

I am led to believe you can mount them under the petrol tank / anywhere sturdy that may require tools to get it out of etc.

Been meaning to look into and sort solution for myself!

I have a road angel unit that was fitted to my bike for all of 11 days, before it went down the road. I'd be open to sensible offers on the unit as its just sitting in the house doing nothing. will require a yearly subscription
