Anyone have any good experiences with motorcycle alarms? Can the electrical systems on these bikes handle the extra load? I mainly want one to keep the passerby honest. I know it won't stop the real thieves, but it would be nice when I ride to a restaurant for a meal, and can't see the bike from my seat. :)

I've been eyeing the Gorilla 8007 alarm which has the three main good detectors...Shock, Voltage drop (hot-wiring), and a tilt sensor for when someone takes the bike up off it's side stand. It also has a very loud siren. This alarm is also half the price of other systems that have the same sensors. Again, this is just to keep the sidewalk strollers honest. I know it won't stop a real thief.
I am also looking at the model 8017 which adds a 1/2 mile range pager.

I really want to know if anyone is using one, what they use, and how they like it. Thanks. :)
