So where I park is a touristy area, im 2 floors up and my bike is pretty much parked right below me, so I can see it all day. Now a lot of tourists take pics of themselves near it (5-6 a day at least), but quite a few of late have been climbing onto it, letting their kids get on it... Its a cultural thing, generally the people doing it come from a certain region of the world, I get that they dont understand, but still it bugs the hell out of me (not to mention scuffs in the paint, marks on the exhaust) The lifts in my building are slow as hell so usually theyre long gone by the time I get down stairs.
Short of putting a sign on it.. What suggestions are out there? Is there some sort of security thing where I can press a button and it would chirp the alarm? Can the stock alarm (2015 model) be set to be more sensitive?
First world problem. Your bike is so good that people want to get photographed with it and kids sit on it and you don't like it. Go down there and talk to the tourists. You'd be a hit. Help the kids get on safely and you might even get to bed the odd hitchhiker. Win win. Put a cover over it when the shop: read chick magnet is closed. Cheers
Move!...dont recon I could sleep being that far away from mine
if there is a power point close to bike , get youself a mini electric fence hook it up.

G'day,
a cover, or a sign, $10-00 to sit, $20-00 per photo.
It's a problem, agree those from certain regional zones just jump on no asking etc.
I now have a thin wire rope and lock and sit my jacket over rest/seat and doesn't seem to happen anymore.
I had an issue once with my old duke monster when a guy just sat on it at a bike show. Didn't realise it had an auto retracting side stand and nearly dropped the thing when getting off. I wasn't there but a mate was and luckily he got there and caught it before it hit the deck.
