what has made me think about the pager option is my mates bike getting stolen from work. My bike, if at work is 2 floors away, so I could make it to my bike between the first alarm and someone putting it on the back of a ute.. Would i approach the guys.. probably, there is a few bike riders that sit near me, plus 3 security gaurds at the font desk that are bored all day. im sure I would have takers for the bike rescue operation. :-)
i like the pager option too. who sells the gorrilla kit? and how much?

I've got a Mongoose brand unit. Mines remote start with the pager option (which I don't have). Mines got a mercury switch if the bike is stood up straight from the side stand it goes off. If someone is able to bypass the alarm & get it started without the key in the ignition, the engine cuts out as soon as it's put into gear. If someone gets it started without the alarm disabled it will run for 20 seconds & then stop unless the key is inserted in the ignition.
I use the remote start every day. I can start the bike from my office. So by the time I get down to the carpark it's close to warm & don't need to hang around as long.
Not sure of the maximum distance the remote ctrl works, but I've used it at about 250m in line-of-site & it worked. I was at a restaurant in Melb & could see my bike from the table. A couple of guys were hangin around & when one got too close for me I just hit the ARM button which just makes the unit beep as it was already armed.
I like that option - around 300 for that setup ya?

There is a place that fits car and motorcycle alarms in city road. Next time I go past I will run in and grab a business card for ya.
never fly higher than your angel.
should have decreased! Thing is if they can by-pass the one I posted up & they can by-pass this one - why would I want to pay the extra what - 300 to get it?
Seems like a rip off for the same shit to me
