What security mistakes do most motorcycle owners make?

After enough theft stories, the same mistakes show up again and again:

• Trusting the steering lock. It's the most-defeated "security" feature on any motorcycle.
• Locking the bike, but not TO anything. A disc lock stops the bike rolling — it doesn't stop two people lifting it into a van.
• Buying a cheap cable lock. Hand cutters go through most cables in seconds. Spend on a hardened chain instead.
• Keeping a perfect routine. Same spot, same times, every day — you're doing the thief's surveillance for them.
• Showing off the bike's location online. Photos that reveal your street, garage, or plate are free intel.
• Carrying liability-only insurance. If the bike vanishes, the payout is zero.
• Having no recovery plan. Most riders invest everything in prevention and nothing in what happens after — no tracker, no documented VIN, no photos.
• Security that stays home. The chain sitting in your garage does nothing for the bike parked at work.

Fix the cheap mistakes first: lock to something solid, vary your habits, and put a tracker on the bike so one bad night isn't the end of the story.
