 Motorcycle Cruiser magazine on Anti-Theft Strategies
One of the dangers of popularity, such as that currently being experienced by cruisers, is that it also makes that type of motorcycle popular with thieves.
Most cruisers have separate fork and ignition lock, which at least doubles the work load -- provided the rider utilizes them, but a disc lock or alarm raises your security level substantially.
Cruisers with saddlebags are candidates for such systems.

 Boston class cruiser
In 1968 both Boston class guided missile heavy cruisers were reclassified back to heavy cruisers (CAs), in part due to the extensive use of their 8-inch guns for shore bombardment during the Vietnam War.
While they had retained their Terrier missiles, the swift advance of technology had made these pioneering weapons obsolete after little more than a dozen years' service, and the ships' main battery were once again their six remaining 8-inch guns in the forward turrets.
In 1970 both Boston class ships were decommissioned for the final time, eventually stricken from the Naval Vessel Register, and sold for scrap.

 COURT TV ONLINE - ACLU Racial Profiling Suit
Due to the supervisory defendants' inaction, plaintiffs, and the class they represent, have suffered, and continue to suffer, violations of their rights to equal protection of the laws, to be free from unreasonable government searches and seizures, and to travel interstate.
The class which plaintiffs seek to represent consists of all innocent minority motorists who have been since January 1, 1993, or who will be in the future, illegally stopped, detained, and/or searched by Maryland state troopers along Interstate 95, without just cause and based upon their race and/or national origin.
This action is properly maintained as a class action inasmuch as the questions of law and fact common to the members of the class predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy.

California cities can start by enforcing their current 6K bans, or at the very least making it clear they apply to SUVs.
