The Bike Barn and Security

The Bike Barn provides all weather non-contact protection to motorcycles
around the world. The original design answered immediate needs for
customers to keep rain and sun out. The Bike Barn frame provided
camouflage - out of site out of mind.

However security remained of top concern for customers in densely
populated urban areas. The basic qualities of the Bike Barn were
attractive however there was no deterrent from thieves slashing the
fabric and entering the tent. Some customers requested primary
deterrents to prevent theft. After investigation there appeared two main
methods:

Physical security and Electronic security.

Physical security involved mainly rear wheel lock bars that are bolted
to the ground with a metal rod through the spoke wheel. Basically the
motorcycle could not be moved without some cutting or breaking of parts
during theft attempts.

Daily use of this security system is cumbersome. Many customers needed
permission, often difficult to get, to drill holes in concrete to secure
the wheel lock. However the system is generally accepted to be
effective.

Electronic security offers less brute force and more stealth to the
security process. There are many different types of electronic alarms
but only those that are simple and easy to use with effective
notification systems are valued by customers.

The Bike Barn has selected a wheel lock product and we encourage your
feedback. For electronic alarms we looked at several but found most of
them over priced and not recommended in the dealer market. The MA-Easy
was an exception to electronic alarms. Installation by a completely new
user took 15 minutes. User settings were established in another couple
of minutes and easy to change later on. Feedback was very positive.
