Can anyone recommend an alarm system?
I want to discourage people from playing with my motorcycle while it's out of my view. I've been using a Xena alarm disc lock, and it works okay and I'd say I've gotten my $60 worth. However, I'd like to upgrade to something that will make someone crap a hole through their pants, if possible. A lot of people think the Xena is loud. It's kind of loud, but I need louder. Something that sends notifications to my phone, if possible.

I have Xena too that my brother got me couple years ago. Yes, it's loud, but in narrow range of frequencies, so not as over-powering as can be.
I think it's going to take 2nd alarm for SMS alerts like you want. This feature is typically bundled with silent GPS-based alarms that send: - alert that your bike has been tampered with - alert with GPS-coordinates of your bike I even saw micro unit that fits underneath bicycle seats. However, that one requires communicating on mesh-network of other identical alarms. Otherwise it's blind. I think cell-based one will be better. |

The notifying me part of it is kind of a pipe-dream I guess. My bike is being tampered with by (I suspect) the same person. I just need to give someone a stern talking-to (I'm in California where theft is completely legal and personal property is a fake concept). The Gorilla alarms look promising but they require the user to carry a separate receiver. I may settle for that as I don't think I'll need to carry it all the time. One confrontation ought to solve it.

Any notifications type of alarm is going to require a monthly fee. A lot of them aren't cheap either.

I use the Scorpio Ride, which they've since rebranded the https://rlink.com/ -- I think there's an audible alarm accessory (at least pre-rebranding) but the GPS features are what I got it for and it's been well worth it.
