[Ducati] Best method/equip for your Duc from being stolen is...?

Wed Oct 4 18:17:36 EDT 2006

It's interesting since I've only had my bikes stolen from my homes (3  
times) that I don't really worry about them being ripped off from my  
house as much as I do when I park it outside a grocery store or a  
movie theater.  That's what I'd love to be able to solve.  Stopping  
someone from ripping it off after I take it out for a ride and it's  
beyond my sight.
