I use the steering lock is all, who wants to steal a ratted Zongshen zs200? Just park next to a scooter or somthing and they always look more attractive next to my bike.
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
i spend nothing now but spent a lot of money setting all the security up me and a mate have set it all up he reckons better security than a bank if it gets broken into i will no ive tryed my best
At home the bike is kept in a garage (with two side bolt door, so far more secure than those terrible single pin up and over doors that you can ping open with a glue spreader).
At work, there is a carpark with a specific bike bay - attendant on permanent duty and there are barriers at the entrance and exit.
When parked at home in the garage, I just put on steering lock. At garage near work, I add the disclock.
If I have to park "in the open" if I have to go into work at the weekend, I take a padlock and chain as well... and our security guard is very good and keeps an eye on it via the security camera.
Parking at the supermarket, can't really take the chain, so disclock and steering lock.
Finally (sorry, gone on a bit!), if Laura and I are out for a ride together and we stop for lunch or whatever, then disclock on both bikes, with chain through rear wheels to make it really hard for scumbag. If possible, we will also sit where we can see the bikes.
Nothing like having a bike stolen a few years ago (it still makes me angry when I think of it) to make you a little paranoid...

Steering lock, or if feeling insecure a padlock and cable. It's garaged in a locked internal-access garage at home parked in front of two cars, so harder to move. Though on the Cancer Kids Toy run I left it in the street with the key in the ignition...
I know of a couple down the Waikato with a Harley each, bolted and locked to the concrete floor in a locked, alarmed garage behind locked gates just outside their alarmed house right near their bedroom window. Yup! Both gone!
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
My bike is only ever in 3 places.
1: Locked securely in my Garage at home.
2: Locked securely in my Garage at work.
3: Under my arse roaring that Ducati Roar.
No need for security.
ST has a chipped key so it's immobilised and steering lock. At 300+ kg someone would need a hiab to take it.

I leave mine in an unlocked garage with the key in the ignition. 12' of razor wire between that and the road though.
Problem is now days if your puppy bites some asshole who committing a crime on your property the poor beasty gets a bullet and you get prosecuted, and the offender (sorry isn't that alleged offender) gets a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket.
I like my dog so at home if they want anything they can take it, except the dog, take that I go hunting.
Its not the destination that is important its the journey.
My last wouldn't eat anything unless I gave it to her... and i never trained her to do that...
- Went on holiday she wouldn't eat when the neigbours came to feed her... and she knew the neighbours... had to cut short my holiday.
- When she was in the vets for a couple of days she wouldn't eat (I had to go in and feed her and she was fine)
- Would not eat anything even after showing her it was ok... we tried all sorts of experiments. I had to give it to her to say it is okay to eat this.
The other thing was if she didn't know you she would let you on the property but wouldn't let you off it... as a courier driver once found out...
sigh I miss Tara...![]()
well at the moment mine is stored in a locked garage with a disc lock and security lights which wake me up the moment they switch on. also have a persuasion tool in the form of a of a BIG stick/bat as added deterrent![]()
