you could zip tie a baby monitor to your centerstand .If stand goes up you'll hear it .
Its low tech ,low cost.
Or chain a guard chihuahua to it. It's about the same size.
Hmm, that is an interesting thought. I never use the centerstand, since they are just as unstable as a side stand, yet much more work (plus a real pain when you are short or have a lowered bike). But using it with a lock.... hmmm....As far as that goes, you could tie the chain/cable between the front wheel and the sidestand.
I'm sure somone has a naggy wife they could loan out for a week or so. I guarantee that your bike will not be stolen if they have to take a naggy woman as part of a package deal.I thought that falls into the same category with the Chihuahua. They are all b***hes that won't stop yapping.
Always get a 1st floor room in a motel and drive the bike right into the room and park next to your bed where you can keep an eye on it all night.

That's an interesting idea! I may have to play with that. I'm a light sleeper and wouldn't want to get woken up by other sounds coming from outside. But now I'm thinking a basic moto frs with a call button. I could add a switch to the center stand (or side stand) that activates the call button. Low cost remote alarm system. In fact, if it could be rigged such that the call button only activates temporarily, from your room you could transmit back to the bike (while your putting your pants on): "step away from the bike, the police have been alerted.." or what ever.
or, 'now where did I put that extra magazine with the hollow points'.
The Dury inn at Olive and 270 offers covered parking, and nice rooms for a fair price. That's where I park it when I stay in STL.
Bang for the buck, it's the best deal in town.
That's a nice part of town, so I wouldn't worry about it. It's not too far from the amphitheater. Now if you might be staying downtown, that's another story. I live in 10 minutes from downtown St Louis, so if you find a hotel and want to know what area it's in, I would be willing to give my opinion.
I'll be staying in Mehlville, is that a decent town?
Mehlville (or South County as we call it here) is great. Assuming that the concert is at the Scotttrade Center on 3/9, you are about 20 minutes away. How are you getting to Scotttrade? If you are riding, I would suggest looking into a parking garage. Usually parking around there is surface lots. There is a garage right next to Scotttrade, but I don't remember the name. Either way, you should be fine. When I go to a Blues game down there I park either in the lot by the Greyhound station, as their security is pretty decent, or I park at Union Station.
Yeah I'll be going to Scottstrade Center. I was wondering where a decent place to park the bike would be. Thanks for the tip. Oh and Let's Go Red Wings!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHA!! If I can be of other help just let me know. I would say I would meet you for dinner, but I'll be in Mt. Prospect, IL all that week. I would recommend not wearing a Red Wings jersey down there as well. lol
