Hello Resident

We have recently seen a number of incidents where motorcycles have been stolen. Below are some helpful tips to help you keep your motorcycle safe:

Park in a public area

You should choose a designated parking space, rather than street parking if possible. A good way to find safe motorcycle parking is to use ParkSafe.

It lets you search for car parks around your location that have been awarded a Park Mark. A Park Mark is given car parks that have low crime and measures in place to make sure vehicles parked there are safe.

But, if there’s no designated parking nearby, you should try areas with lots of people, good lighting and CCTV. Thieves are less likely to target motorcycles that are in public places, where they might be recorded.

Use a lock and an alarm

You should always use more than one lock when leaving your motorcycle somewhere. And, you should use disc locks and chain locks as these are fitted tight to the bike and through difficult-to-remove parts. You should also try to make sure the lock is up off the ground – it makes it harder for thieves to cut away.  

Another tip to remember is to check if your lock is insurance approved. Some companies will offer discounts on your insurance if you use approved locks or security devices.  So, you should always ask before you buy your insurance.

Another way to keep your bike safe is using alarms. If your bike is targeted, a loud alarm will draw unwanted attention to thieves and could help stop them stealing your bike.

Think about how long you’ll be leaving your motorcycle

When you park your motorcycle, you should think about long you’ll be leaving it. If it’s for a long time or overnight, you should lock it to something secure and use a motorbike cover, as well as the normal disc and chain locks.

If you leave your bike at home, you should use ground anchors to secure your bike.

Mark your motorcycle

Marking your bike parts with the vehicle identification number (VIN) number, your postcode, or registration number is a good way to keep your bike safe. If your bike is stolen, it’s a lot easier to trace back to you if you can give the police any marking numbers on your bike.

Shwmae Resident

Yn ddiweddar, rydym wedi gweld nifer o ddigwyddiadau lle mae beiciau modur wedi cael eu dwyn. Isod mae rhai awgrymiadau defnyddiol i'ch helpu i gadw'ch beic modur yn ddiogel:

Parcio mewn man cyhoeddus Dylech ddewis lle parcio dynodedig, yn hytrach na pharcio ar y stryd os yn bosibl. Ffordd dda o ddod o hyd i barcio beiciau modur diogel yw defnyddio ParkSafe. Mae'n gadael i chi chwilio am feysydd parcio o amgylch eich lleoliad sydd wedi cael Marc Parc. Rhoddir Marc Parc i feysydd parcio sydd â throseddau isel a mesurau ar waith i sicrhau bod cerbydau sydd wedi'u parcio yno'n ddiogel. Ond, os nad oes parcio dynodedig gerllaw, dylech roi cynnig ar ardaloedd gyda llawer o bobl, goleuadau da a chamerâu cylch cyfyng. Mae lladron yn llai tebygol o dargedu beiciau modur sydd mewn mannau cyhoeddus, lle gallent gael eu recordio.

Defnyddiwch glo a larwm Dylech chi bob amser ddefnyddio mwy nag un clo wrth adael eich beic modur yn rhywle. A dylech chi ddefnyddio cloeon disg a chloeon cadwyn gan fod y rhain wedi'u gosod yn dynn ar y beic a thrwy rannau sy'n anodd eu tynnu. Dylech chi hefyd geisio sicrhau bod y clo i fyny oddi ar y ddaear - mae'n ei gwneud hi'n anoddach i ladron dorri i ffwrdd. Awgrym arall i'w gofio yw gwirio a yw eich clo wedi'i gymeradwyo gan yswiriant. Bydd rhai cwmnïau'n cynnig gostyngiadau ar eich yswiriant os ydych chi'n defnyddio cloeon neu ddyfeisiau diogelwch cymeradwy. Felly, dylech chi bob amser ofyn cyn i chi brynu eich yswiriant. Ffordd arall o gadw'ch beic yn ddiogel yw defnyddio larymau. Os yw eich beic wedi'i dargedu, bydd larwm uchel yn tynnu sylw digroeso at ladron a gallai helpu i'w hatal rhag dwyn eich beic.

Meddyliwch am ba mor hir y byddwch chi'n gadael eich beic modur Pan fyddwch chi'n parcio'ch beic modur, dylech chi feddwl am ba mor hir y byddwch chi'n ei adael. Os yw am amser hir neu dros nos, dylech chi ei gloi i rywbeth diogel a defnyddio gorchudd beic modur, yn ogystal â'r cloeon disg a chadwyn arferol. Os byddwch chi'n gadael eich beic gartref, dylech chi ddefnyddio angorau daear i sicrhau eich beic.

Marciwch eich beic modur Mae marcio rhannau eich beic gyda rhif adnabod y cerbyd (VIN), eich cod post, neu rif cofrestru yn ffordd dda o gadw'ch beic yn ddiogel. Os caiff eich beic ei ddwyn, mae'n llawer haws olrhain yn ôl atoch chi os gallwch chi roi unrhyw rifau marcio ar eich beic i'r heddlu.
