The information on The Motorcycle Security Project ("the Site") is provided for general guidance only. Motorcycle security can reduce the risk of theft, but no method or product can guarantee prevention.

​

All advice, guides, techniques and recommendations should be applied at your own discretion.

​

General guidance and how-to content

 

You must assess:

• your own skill level,

• your familiarity with tools or equipment, and

• your ability to safely implement any security method before attempting anything described on this Site.

​

The techniques, habits and principles we describe are intended as information, not instruction. What works for one rider may not be appropriate or safe for another. Always consider your own circumstances, environment and capabilities before acting on any guidance.

​

Product information

 

When we discuss security products - locks, chains, alarms, trackers or any other devices - this is for general information only, not personalised recommendations. Mentioning a product does not mean it is right for your bike, budget, or situation.

​

Security products can reduce risk, but they are never a guarantee against theft. Always:

• follow manufacturer instructions,

• check specifications and compatibility carefully, and

• consider professional installation or advice if unsure.

​

We are not responsible for product performance, compatibility issues, or any outcomes from purchasing or using products mentioned on the Site.

​

Data, statistics and insights

 

Figures, maps, trends and patterns presented on the Site are drawn from external sources and our own analysis. They are intended to provide context and awareness, not to serve as a complete or definitive picture of theft risk.

​

Data may be:

• imperfect, incomplete or delayed,

• subject to change over time, or

• based on our interpretation of available information.

​

Do not rely solely on data from this Site when making decisions about security, insurance, or where to park your bike. Use it as one factor among many.

​

News, policy updates and official initiatives

 

Articles covering police operations, policy changes, manufacturer initiatives or industry schemes are summaries based on third-party sources and publicly available information.

​

These situations can develop and change. We do our best to reflect official statements accurately, but you should always verify key details directly with the relevant organisation or authority.

​

Content in this category is for awareness only and should not be treated as formal guidance from any organisation mentioned.

​

Community groups, stories and campaigns

 

When we highlight community groups, rider-led initiatives, campaigns or individual experiences, this is to share knowledge and raise awareness - not as an endorsement.

​

Experiences and approaches from groups or individuals are theirs, not universal advice. We cannot vouch for, monitor, or take responsibility for the activities, safety, or outcomes of any group or campaign mentioned on the Site.

​

If you choose to get involved with any community initiative, that is your decision and responsibility. Assess the risks, benefits and fit for your own situation before participating.

​

Affiliate links and funding

 

The Site may use affiliate links, sponsored content or advertising to support running costs. When we do, it will always be clearly labelled.

Commercial relationships do not influence our editorial stance. If a product or service is poor, we will say so, regardless of any financial arrangement.

​

Limitation of liability

 

We are not responsible for:

• damage to motorcycles, property or equipment,

• injury resulting from attempting any method or installation,

• theft, loss or outcomes arising from the use of our content,

• decisions made based on data, news or community information presented on the Site, or

• any issues arising from involvement with third-party groups, products or services mentioned here.

​

Accuracy and updates

 

We do our best to ensure accuracy, but information may change, become outdated, or be incomplete. We make no guarantees regarding the effectiveness of any product, method or advice.

​

Use your judgment, follow manufacturer instructions where applicable, and consider seeking professional assistance if unsure.
