Comment

This will go exactly the same way as every other safety initiative from Thales - Leg Protectors, Air Bags and Type Approval being obvious examples.

A device that's going to monitor how a bike is going to be ridden - are you serious?. I'm sure I want the police to know where and when my Kwak is pulling a massive 3rd gear wheelie (I somehow doubt I'll get a letter of commendation).

Yes - develop a device that tracks stolen bikes by all means, but bear in mind the false alarm issue (anyone that has a datatool alarm knows what i'm talking about).

Just in case anyone thinks this is just a biker issue - would you want one fitted to your 3 series? I think not.

Perhaps if Thales could devote some reseach time to improved anchor points and locking systems - and local authoties deployed such systems more effectively, then there may be some reduction in theft
