Secure Parking: Suitable for bikes?

[camgear]

Hi guys,

Am currently looking for an apartment in Liverpool, but I'm having difficulties finding somewhere that has a garage (Obviously apartments with garages are quite rare)

How secure is 'secure parking' that's offered with some places? Is it usually suitable for a bike?

Anyone live in an apartment with a bike? I imagine I'd be constantly worried about it if it was parked on the street :/

No one then

Surely it depends entirely on each building?

Insurance companies tend to pay very little attention to either gated , or underground secure parking, when compared to a brick built garage. There must be a statistical reason for this.

Biggest problem you'll face, is if the scrotes can see it, they can nick it, pretty much regardless of the physical security you put in their way.

Failing being able to hide it, I'd recommend moving next door to someone with a much nicer bike

Mate of mine kept his Africa Twin in secure carpark for his flat on Bootle Docks area, someone still managed to have a go at it

Tis Bootle tho :S

Reckon City Centre secure parking would be good?

I really want to move, but having the bike is stopping me! (

Pretty much what happened to my first K6. Parked in a facility as described above, no doubt spotted and called in by the local 15 yer old dope smoker, a van with three big blokes and the rest is history. They got in through "secure" electric gates without any trouble - apparently they have a device which can ping the electronics and open the gates.

Should mention also that I have a 19mm Almax and a pin that goes through the Swingarm, so there's a high level of mechanical security on it

I'm having the same dilemma, I plan to move to York, so I think I'll live on the outer city in a little house with a garage.

Aye, don't think I could afford a house/garage on my own...

Been in house shares for about 4 years now and explicity DO NOT WANT to share with anyone again! Maybe one person, but that's it! :/

I'm hoping I get paid more than I do up here, which won't be hard!
Rent for the houses I've had in mind are between 500-700 p/m, ouch

Aye, there's apt's here for about £475 a month, so probably with council tax and stuff about £650 all in

Ouch indeed :/
