My trusty X9 has been stolen!

[okonski]

Back in 2003, I fitted a tracking ststem to my X9 500 SL - it was just a grey box with a SIM card (on Orange) and it was hooked in to the battery leads.  The usit is controlled via SMS message, and I can locate it (to within 500metres, depending on local terrain - better in urban areas, worse in country.

Ifanyone moved it, I get a text to my moile, and I can activate the horn or shut down the engine using short SMS codes.  The BIG laugh, is that my bike has remained art of the family for 7 years without incident, the noly tim I get an SMS is when the wind causes it to rock on the centre stand!

Sorry to hear of the outcome, all I can suggest is that the early warning of knowing that the bike was being tampered with could have given you a fast start in getting downstairs to save it - my main impetus for getting it was traditional methods seldom stop someone determined, and bike with the ability to call 'help' seemed hte next logical step!

Hey, really sorry to hear about the X9. Personally i think they should bring in national community service... everyone has to serve their local community for a year, so that hopefully the little kids will actually grow up with a little respect for people and their communities and seeing the impact their boredom brings!! Grrrr!!!
