Talked to several people Wednesday evening on this subject and the conclusion was the same as what has been discussed here. It would just be to cumbersome. Besides insurnance, photo records and bill-of-sale records they felt that Jean Wending's idea of engraving your driver's license number on the frame was an effective up front deterent. Unfortunately, at that point, the bike is already stolen, but it would be harder to fence.
This exchange has changed the way I protect my private property and I appreciate the feedback.
Insurance "rider"? ; ) What a concept.
Thanx,
Jay

The following riders rode in the wrong category at the Banana Belt race on March
4. The penalty for this is 30 days suspension.
Maybe it was how you announced it - with the finality of an executioner!

Dick Pound is leaving WADA later this year, maybe OBRA
could hire him. Then Candi won't have to be the bad
ass handing out 30 day suspensions. I further purpose
that from now on Candi be refereed to as "The Candi
Hammer".

you are leaving out an important item. Perhaps it

very good point George, and same goes for recording
numbers on ebay.
not goona happen, false numbers will be given all of
the time.
of course they could have you got to a documented
ebay listing store to verify correct numbers,and
list the item in the prescense of an officially
notorized witness, and provide document verification
upon shipment thru officially registered government
certified shipment centers.etc...
Race promoters would get to check that your numbers
on the frame of the bike match the numbers that you
put on the entry form, at the same time they are
verifying your health insurance documentation.
I am goona buy a single speed rigid bike and
shut-up.
I better go to bed , sorry I am tired.

Why would you expect the number on the form to be
accurate in such a case?

It seems we can't go very long with hearing or
reading about somebody's bike
getting stolen. With the setup and preperation
time and money ($1000 to $6000
with a few higher or lower) we each it is a
devestating loss.
I would like to propose that we include a
make/model/serial number on our event
registration. I'm thinking that between OBRA,
WSBA, Cascade, and some of the
other organizations it might create a deterent. If
stolen numbers are listed
with the various organizations and somebody
registers with matching number it
would help lead to property recovery.
Just a thought,
Jay
