Anyone heard anything about Scorpio Alarms?

    I've seen the commercials on TV and I see the advertisements, but I'm
    wondering if these alarms are worth the extra bit of money. I'm
    looking at either Scorpio or Gorilla. The features I want are warn
    away, perimeter protection, flashing lights and an ignition kill. It
    looks like Scorpio has all these, but Gorilla lacks the flashing
    lights and the ignition kill.

    The ignition kill isn't mandatory, but I HAVE to have flashing lights.
    Otherwise all I have is a motorcycle that makes noise, and I can save
    a couple hundred dollars and make noise!

    The price differences, the Gorilla is $190 and the Scorpio with all
    the add-on features and fully loaded out is $445.

    And then I'll still have to have enough money left over for the neon
    lights I'm thinking of putting under this bike...

    I thought about that too. I reflected on the past times I've had with
    motorcycles. Instead of actually being stolen, I've had them tore up
    by casual on-lookers and people stumbling into them. Car doors and
    kids are also a big consideration. I've had a few things taken off the
    bikes while I was in a store shopping or something.

    With the LoJack system, it's a good idea for getting the bike back if
    it's stolen, but if someone steals this bike from me, I might not want
    it back. I've seen too many instances where a person stole a
    motorcycle/car and within a few minutes had it gutted or wrecked out.
    One time was in an apartment complex where I lived years ago. The guy
    upstairs had a new Buick Grand National. One night I was woke up by a
    car running outside. When I looked out, I saw two guys walking to each
    side of that Buick. Within a second or two, they'd busted out the side
    window and one guy jumped in the car. I grabbed my pistol and jumped
    outside about to shoot them if the car started up. They jumped out of
    the car and took off. When the guy finally woke up from me and the
    police banging on his door, he was pissed at me. In the few seconds
    those two had been working on that car, they'd busted the window,
    shattered the steering column and broke the dash. After the guy calmed
    down, he finally thanked me and his insurance paid a hefty amount to
    fix the car.
