Bet purchase I ever made for my bike.

It's a GPS tracker.

I live in a bad neighborhood and am terrified of my bike disappearing, despite the big ass chain and big ass lock. If it gets stolen, I want to be able to find it ASAP.

So I picked up an Optimus GV75MG from the evil Amazon website for about $55 US and $12 US per month. It's super powerful for the price, and hard wires directly to the battery (only 2 wires needed).

I'm pretty sure its "movement detection" is an accelerometer, so I barely touch the bike and I get "Movement detected!" email within a minute or two. I sleep so much better with this thing installed.

It was also fun watching the mechanic do laps around the parking lot from the internet today haha.

Not a shill or anything, just a regular ass dude who wants to help people without garages/secured parking. A cellular GPS tracker in 2023 is cheap, a stolen motorbike is expensive.
