A presentation by Julie Emmitt from Bike Trac about motorcycle security.

Wednesday 1st October, 8 p.m. Whaddon Village Hall.

On Wednesday evening we were visited by Julie Emmitt from Bike Trac who gave an interesting talk on bike security.

A couple of quick take away points:

Use a disk / shackle lock through your chain and sprockets rather than a front disk.  Much more tricky for the ‘little darlings’ to remove (and messy).  

Use a ground anchor on a wall and leave slack in the securing chain.  Harder to get a purchase on than if it’s taut or lying on the floor.

Use ‘sold secure’ products.

Not all tracking products are equal.  Do your homework.

So thanks to Julie for giving us some food for thought – and hopefully what’s ours will remain ours.

Our Story – BikeTrac

Based out of Silverstone in Northamptonshire, BikeTrac has developed its own technology and now protects thousands of machines. The team proudly boast a recovery rate of over 90% and have recovered over £10m worth of stolen machines in this time.

The BikeTrac story is one of two halves and one that on first inspection would seem to be a simple story of a large organisation developing a new product. But the creation of BikeTrac stems from two individuals who had a passion for both bikes and technology to create the product and service we know today.
