One good thing about cheap disc lock beside the price

[johnnyflash]

I hadnt thought about this until I read this thread (The joys of being a newb). Some really helpful ideas - Im off to get some string / ribbon / etc so I dont end up face first in a pile of bike.

Thanks

Just pop down to Cycletreds in barrys point rd and they have a stretchy (bright yellow) like a thick telephone cord made for the job, has a ring on one end to hook ontio the brake or clutch lever.. just a few bucks..

I purchased one the same .It could be a fail safe ....designed to break
anyways i just leave a plastic shopping bag under the grab rail i put the disc lock in it then stuff it under the seat .
at least you dont forget it

Designed to break?

Lmao.

Good for the thieves then....

I suppose if something is of so poor quality that its unable to withstand even a slight force then it could be described as designed to break, though I highly doubt anyone would want such a lock.

That aside, I have to break into buildings quite often, Not only does the noise never bring anyone to have a look but a couple of whacks with a claw hammer is usually enough to break just about any padlock that isn't brand new.

So tell us, what exactly do you do then?

Rubber band kept around the lock when not in use. When in use it gets wrapped around the ignition key, preventing it from penetrating the barrel. No cords to wrap up and costs SFA.

I had a bicycle chain around the front wheel of my VFR the day after I had got it. Forgot about it, fell over

Break into random buildings searching for treasure..

..Nothing wrong with that is there?

I was at the Cold Kiwi some years ago and a bloke on a GSX was trying to ride off after some beers. His front tyre was in a hole and he could not get the front tyre out of the hole. He was dropping the clutch etc, we were pushing and he was dropping the clutch...... we gave up and he found a very mangled dics lock. it was so fu$ked that he could not unlock it.

Oh we had another beer and laughed at the dick weed.

Don't do this with a Krypton lock buddy, the replacement disc was farken expensive and it didn't even scratch the lock!

I'm on my 4th bike - but my first Krypton lock. My old GN and FXR took a bad swing from it on different ocassions. GN just got a few dents - my FXR lost it's disc and -somehow- the speedo drive too.

Looks like an old freezing works, is it?

[Headbanger]

It is indeed, probably one of NZ's oldest, Though to keep that one interesting, it was and still is a fully operational freezing works.

All their services were running through the derelict buildings, The bottom floor of the building that digger is on was in use, the building right along side with the green roof is where they washed the pelts.

And asshole freezing workers were a constant hazard, Though we can put that down to a dozen generations of simple minded fools indulging in some inbreeding.
