- If alone locate a stationary object such as a light pole and lock your bike to that; ensure the object cannot be moved or dismantled.
- Equip your motorcycle with an alarm that will alert you when the bike is being tampered with.
- Be sure that once your bike is parked you periodically check on it, especially shortly after arrival.
- When choosing a location to park your motorcycle try to find a spot that is in close range of a security camera, if at night under a light, and close to your room if staying at a hotel.
- Keep the title for your motorcycle in a safe (not so safe you lose it) place at home.

- Ensure your motorcycle registration and insurance information is always with you while riding.
