How do you lock your bike up... suggestions appreciated

[boomer]

My baby's locked in the garage ( gargre ) at night and at work its parked in a secure park. I've fitted a mongoose alarm which sets its self automatically when you turn off teh engine.

Im still worried though and have been considering a lock but i dont trust myself to remember its on as i drive away

Well, 3 days after I got my baby, I found her on her side.

I had a disk lock on too.

$700 worth of damage and parts still being ordered.

So, when I get the cash, I'm gonna fit an alarm. Go for an alarm if you can.

my xj is always in the gargre or in my sight. Anyhoo who would wanna stteal a 1983 bike when they could steal a crotch rocket.

I don't lock my bike.I hide behind a nearby tree,cradling a Purdy.
Oh..The powder on the handgrips? ..Anthrax

I wager,that if you chained a turd to a lamp post,some bastard would steal it.

If you can afford a Purdy you must be rich enough not to have to worry about having something as small chnage as your bike stolen [envy]

I use a disclock, always with the front parked inwards, so it's impossible for me to ride off with the lock on.

Beyond that, I'll just park next to a nicer looking bike, so they'll go for that first :-)

I've always just relied on the steering lock.

It's the principle
I don't consider my bike to be small chnage,either

I had a Kriptonite disc lock for the front wheel and a cable for the rear. Travelled the mainland and north island.

now I put the disc lock on the rear and cable on the front. As the disc lock won't fit the front brakes anymore

I don't bother locking mine - if someone wants to nick it......they will.
Its such an orphan, who would want to , anyway?

Usually if I leave my bike, I only put on the steering lock, but when I'm at work we have an underground basement with 24 security and cameras... so I've never really had to worry about this...

DISK LOCK - and one of those wiggly windy things from the lock onto the handlebars

Mike @ Mt Eden m/c gave me one free....but I doubt they cost more than $10 and are well worth it!
Reminds you so you don't try and ride off with the lock on, and warns potential thieving bastards too.....

If you get one with a tilt and shock sensor and the main unit of it is well hidden then yea. If the bike is worth a bit and helps lower insurance cost I believe.

Get this....and don't ask me for the "logic" behind it!

My premiums went down 45% after gitting an alarm. Yes, they were almost halved! I double and triple checked, and even got the call centre person to get her supervisor to send me a letter to that effect, so I had it in writing.

Weird, but hey I'm not complaining!

Wouldn't take long for the savings to pay for the alarm yeah? Bikes must get stolen a lot (and alarms must be highly effective) with that sort of drop.
