looking for bike alarm

[tomtess2006]

Sorry I made a mistake saying (motion sensors) The sensors on the alarm I am talking about were (VIBRATION SENSORS) That trigered when the bike was moved or clicked out of gear sending a signal to my pager. I am searching googles but so far have found only expensive alarms with far to many options then I need. No luck finding one so far !!!!!! Tom

I think it retails for ~$350 with a perimeter sensor and anti-hijack module. Works well but I got it more to notify me that someone's messing with my bike when it goes off than to prevent theft. No one pays attention to alarms anyways. You need a good strategy, not just a device, to prevent theft. -Bobby
