Allways take your kill switch tether with you, or disconnect an appropiate wire.

Locks & Lights. Guns are only good if your home.


Shotgun, Looks like you could drive your quad on top of water instead of through it.

i took a piece of steel pipe 6ft long and made a 3/4inch steel bar with a closed loop at each end. i welded it to the top of the steel pipe and buried it untill 2 1/2ft was left above ground and filled the hole with 3 bags of quickcrete. i use brinks 6ft cable locks, 1 for each 4 wheeler. plus i have them in a locked building at all times. no to mention the shotgun, .45, and the raging bull 454 i keep loaded at all times

www.trailervise.com On or off the trailer, use a lock on it and the ATV isn't going anywhere

I use nothing but Kryptonite "Fahgettaboudit" ("New York" chain and locks) and "New York" U-locks. All are extremely expensive, but worth it for some peace of mind!!

In the garage, I just chain the bikes together end to end in a big circle. Every bike is chained to two other bikes. Nobody is going anywhere with 8 bikes!

On the trailer, I chain the bikes together, and I chain them to the trailer frame. At night, or in high risk areas, I run U-locks through the spokes of the trailer wheels, and then run a New York chain through the locks and up around the frame, so the trailer can't be moved.

Back that all up with insurance!!
