Once upon a time there was a chap who used to drag around a chain and padlock to protect his precious motorcycle. His friends (both of them) derided this old-school security, insisting the modern way was a mysterious device called a disc lock. Still, birthdays and Christmas passed devoid of such a thoughtful gift. And they called themselves mates. Ha!

Then one day...er...very late black night this chap was stumbling hopefully through assorted tents and machines at the Vincent Rally when he accidentally bumped against a bike. Instantly the night air was filled with a piercing banshee wail which seemed to go on and on and on. Which in fact it did. Something erupted from a nearby tent shouting anger and threats so our chap hastily slunk off into the darkness.

And so it came to be: a Xena stainless steel disc lock was purchased. Unfortunately about the same time the precious motorcycle threw itself off an exciting piece of road and Xena was left alone having never got off the shelf.

It works. The battery case has been reversed to prevent heart attacks from curious visitors and postal workers.

I am keen. How much extra to ship to Hamilton?

Also what is the battery like? And can it be replaced/charged?

An excellent question. Dunno. :facepalm:

These devices are compact but heavy. Lets say $6 to post and if it costs more I'm not bothered. I have to admit its a sexy bit of technology, almost good enough to put on a shelf in the living room and scare inquisitive visitors. Mmm...should have lent it to my daughter for her first year in the hostel at university. Hours of fun.

Sold. To the man with the cowbells.

So...maybe here's an opportunity. Buy more for $130 and sell for $70. My significant other says No! but whadda girls know. Trouble is I need a bigger truck.
