A heavy duty wok or frying pan works wonders as well.


LOL. Well, I'd probably intro the scene by flinging the frying pan Raiden style like a frisbee - then finish it off by barry bondsing anyone who is left standing.

An alarm like this would have helped I think.

It has a pager that will alert you when the bike is being messed with. The sensor on it can distinguish movement of the bike as well as the periphery (which would become annoying if a dog pissed on your bike). But I've heard great things about these alarms. Just keep a baseball bat next to your bed and if your alarm goes off, get ready to hit some home runs Wink


Yep, definitely a good item. One problem is that my scoot cost 500 and it costs 300. For the Vespa crew it's a good idea.

You can always unscrew the spark plug cap, then they've gotta push it to steal it: diehard theives.

There're also some circuitboard plans on various biker sites for cheapo alarms, but as suggested, a stray dog could set them off.

Again, if you buy a pig, who's going to steal it? There are tons around; it's just gettin' a good deal and a decent front disk brake lock(that's why I like a front disk brake - besides the extra stopping power). (btw. all advice here is given with the disclaimer that I occasionally drink and don't know what I'm talking about).

Anyone check these places out yet? Looks like there are two locations. I'm guessing they are relatively new?

Hey fellas,

As my arrival date nears, was wondering if anyone had a chance to check out the Piaggio store in Gangnam, Toegyero or Hannam?

Does anyone know if these prices are negotiable?
