hell yes i have lojack!!! my sportster did not even leave the shop until it was installed and i have the nice lady at the geico insurance desk to thank for that one. with the lojack my total yearly bill is under 300 bucks for full coverage with a 250 deductable including gap insurance on the loan.
florida insurance for harleys is amoung the highest in the nation due to the number of bikes stolen.

ps. and no i am not worried about big brother tracking me. seems a lot of people who do not get lojack are afraid the government is tracking their every move.
The government doesn't need a lojack to track our moves. All it has to do is follow us around on the internet all day.
marti,
there is an old saying that goes "just because you are paranoid it does not mean that no one is out to get you".
seriously i have heard this time and before in bars "i don't have lojack cause i don't want the man to know where i am". my standard response is "dude since you are soooo important that the government wants to know you every move should i buy you a beer or just genuflect??!!!" talk about delusions of grandure!!!!
jack
ps. then again they think nothing about their cell phones pinging their every location away.
