529 Garage - what's it all about?

529 Garage allows you to collect together details, photos, descriptions, and serial numbers of your bike in minutes.

Once registered, you can also obtain a unique 529 Garage code on a tamper-proof shield that sticks to your bike.

The shield acts as a sign to thieves that the bike is registered and Police will be easily able to identify it, should it be stolen.
