MotorCycle Alarm: Calls you when someone moves your bike


The idea  is hook up 1 old cellphone to your motorcycle and it will call you if someone moves it.

This is an instructable that I have always wanted to try but can't seem to start. As a motor cycle owner myself I know this type of alarm will be useful especially now where incidents regarding theft are starting to become more and more common.

I got fed up with normal alarms making a lot of noise, and no one taking any notice of them any more.
Also not knowing if anyone had messed with my bike because I was to far away to hear the alarm.
So I decided to make this alarm using an old mobile phone and a simple timer circuit.
The basic principle is if the motorbike is moved it will trigger a timer circuit,
which will send a 3 second pulse to a mobile phone, which will phone me to let me know that something has moved my bike.
This project is not just for a motorbike, It could also be altered you warn you about anything you want.
ie house, shed, car.
 



The downside for this type of projects is that your cellphone must always have a load and you know how quickly the load expires here.
