Hello!
I like the peace of mind of knowing where my vehicles are, but don't think the reoccurring expense of a GPS tracker makes much sense for me. After all, I do have theft coverage with insurance. So for the last few years I've been using an AirTag to do the tracking.
If you're not familiar, the way Apple AirTags works is by utilizing the "FindMy" network, where any iOS device enabled will pick up the low energy Bluetooth pings of the AirTag and uses it's own location to anonymously report the tag location to the network where only the tag owner can see the location (not even Apple can see!).
I picked up a pack of silicon AirTag holders and settled on this spot at the bottom of the gas tank under the seat. Not impossible to find - but secure enough that you'd need the key and to remove the seat to access.
Just wanted to share if anyone was considering something similar for their bike!
