California is one of the states where riding season is all year round. We, Californians are enjoying the nice weather and the captivating scenic spots perfect for a rider.
Every year, bikers spent time with their favorite motorcycle brand and type in notable places like Clear Lake, the largest natural lake and second oldest lake in the world and Sopiago Springs in Sierra Nevada. Thousands of motorcyclists travel the road going to Yosemite Park where bikers can enjoy the view of century old giant Sequoias.
But if you are not into scenic views, you can simply enjoy your motorcycle ride from your home to work. Motorcycles are considered to be one of the most cost-efficient ways to travel. And navigating congested cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco is a breeze with any street legal motorcycle brand.
Overall, motorcycles are huge help for many of us, may it be for pleasure of traveling or for everyday commute in urbanized areas. So it must be an emotional wreck if we find ourselves looking for our stolen motorcycle.
My friend who only live few blocks away is the latest victim of a heartless bike snatcher. He bought his used 1986 Yamaha Radian Blue with windshield just three months ago. He’s a full time student but managed to save some bucks for his first motorcycle. Unfortunately his relationship with his bike ended so soon.
Andrew is only one of more than 70,000 victims of motorcycle theft all over United States. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau Statistics, 20-25 % of motorcycles that are stolen are never found. And last 2005, California was the number one State with numerous motorcycle theft totaling to 9,110.
Andrews’ bike, Yamaha is only the second Most Stolen Motorcycle by Brand second to Honda. Suzuki is on the third place followed by Kawasaki.
It is quite obvious why motorcycles are desirable target for thieves. Its relatively small size and weight only takes about 12 seconds to steal for a professional thief. But when I say, professional, do not be too complacent and think that there are only few professional thieves out there and for amateurs, 12 seconds is just too short. When you don’t lock your bike in a mall parking lot, twelve seconds is too long for a beginner to snatch your motorcycle.
Be smart in safeguarding your motorcycle. Make sure you always use the best lock you can afford. Try to observe the parking area where you want to park your motorcycle on a regular basis.
