Locking your bike

[H00dz]

I completely understand this and think its a great idea..... In the U.K., where the company is from, and its intended use. There are a lot more bikes back home compared to NZ, and like here, they tend to all park together, only theres a hell of a lot more of them. However this system would only work if 99% of people were members, otherwise you pull up to park your bike in the last in a row of 40 in the city centre somewhere and only the one in the middle is a member. Bugger carrying a chain that long around. But still with the bikes linked, a disc lock, immobiliser and gps tracker, thats gotta be a hell of a deterrent.

That makes three !!! now World Domination

+1. Even using manual operated bolt cutters most "chain" style locks can be severed within 30s. They just don't stop any semi-determined criminal.

hello from the uk mate, what you need is some good old british engineering, a yanchor stuck in concrete on the garage floor,( if you dont have one,your driveway or path will do) an almax uber chain,( you wont cut that at all!) a squire ss65sc padlock and a zena xx15 disclock/alarm,then you can sleep easy like i do. check out these products, they are the best you can buy, all the best, mick.

....or like they do in Wellsford.

Yep, plus 1 here. Oh if you add the bad tempered dog (or cat if your from the latte set) to the mix, it's perfect cos ya know when some bugger is out there due to the amount of noise (typically from the person who has just lost a chunk of his anatomy)

If you have a crappy chain, yeah. If you get a decent chain you'd have to use some huge bolt cutters to break it (highly conspicuous and not easy to carry), and if you used a battery powered angle grinder or something similar it'd make a lot of noise. Only stupid or extremely brazen thieves would stick around that long. Of course, this doesn't stop them from just picking up your bike and chucking it in a van. Just make your bike a pain in the arse to steal and a bitch to start.

Using your best mate to guard a mere motorcycle is a shitty thing to do. I'll just toss some mince rolled in broken glass over the fence, he'll gobble it, and then next week, I have no dog to worry about.
