TIP OF THE WEEK

Securing Your Motorcycle — After making the investment in this mode of transportation that can cost almost as much as or sometimes even more than a car it makes no sense to skimp. The motorcycle should be safeguarded with a mated 3/8” set steel alloy chain and a padlock of equivalent strength. Sheathed wire has not proven to be a very effective way to prevent burglary.
