How do I keep my bike safe at motorcycle rallies?

Rallies are a thief's favorite trade show: thousands of desirable bikes, owners distracted for hours, crowded lots where nobody questions someone wheeling a motorcycle into a van. Reports of theft spikes around major rallies come up year after year, so treat the event like the high-risk zone it is.

• Park deliberately. Use secured or camera-covered event parking when it exists; otherwise pick busy, well-lit spots — and park with your riding group so the bikes cover each other.
• Lock it every time. The "I'm only walking two blocks" stop is exactly when bikes vanish. Disc lock minimum; chain bikes together with your crew and a lifted theft becomes a three-bike problem nobody attempts.
• Stay anonymous at night. Back at the motel or campsite, cover the bike and take the luggage in.
• Watch it from your pocket. A hidden tracker with motion alerts means your phone buzzes the moment the bike moves without you — while you're at the concert, the vendor rows, or asleep. If an alert ever fires, call police with the live location; never try to run down a thief at a packed event.

Do that and you enjoy the rally instead of speed-walking back to check your parking spot.
