Harleys being stolen to order

[1200custom]

I have an Oxford chain and deadlock, but I'm not that keen on carrying it around

i have saddlebags mounted so its not trouble, i would much rather be safe than sorry, i'd be fucken pissed if my bike got pinched

[Headbanger]

when i leave my bike in town for any amount of time i lock the wheel to the frame aswell as locking the steering

check out this auction, this is the lock i use and they are impossible to cut through

You should never consider anything impossible to cut through.

A powered tool could cut that in a few seconds.

Sure, It would make a few seconds of noise but no one apart from the owner would care or notice.

And you should try and lock your bike to a solid object, People just tip locked bikes onto trailers, or drag em into vans.

Its not even hard work.

You're right, it's not worth the risk.
It's relative to the time I'd intend to leave it parked I guess.
For short shopping trips I reckon the steering lock would suffice (I have a mate who always - always locks his), but things like dental appointments etc where it's gonna be sitting there for an hour or more, I'm just gonna have to get used to carrying the chain I spose.

already been tested and it takes 1 min 44 sec to cut through with a angle grinder, but i doubt anyone will consider or even be able to plug in a angle grinder just to cut through a lock in the middle of town, im pretty sure people would know whats going on and alert the police....dont you

Right, read my lips.

I could cut through that in seconds with a powered tool, and no one would say anything.

If you wish to donate it I can bring over the cut-off saw and show you.

We can even do it in the main street if you so wish.

Sure it will do some damage, But hey, FREE BIKE ,WOOT WOOT

Dead right. A small petrol powered cut-off saw would probably cut a link or lock in seconds, and chances are any passing public would ignore it.
These dudes are organised, and locking to a solid object is another good tip.

its pretty much common sense, if anyone saw somone cutting through a lock in the middle of town (where heaps of shops and people are) with a power tool (incase you didnt know these things make abit of noise) people are going to ring the cops, its not about how fast you think you can cut through it, its about what people would do if they saw it

what do you mean by locking to a solid abject, couldnt they just cut through the lock

[SilverGrin]

If I saw someone cutting through a chain, I'd be asking them what the fuck they were doing, but a non-biking plebe is going to walk right past holding his ears and looking the other way.

If the alarm's nutting off on the other hand...

A solid object like a fence, or a parking meter.
It's not gonna stop a determined bastard with cutting gear, but it'll stop 'em wheeling it off or tipping it onto a trailer.

That is just being naive.

People will steal your shit in broad daylight, They will make noise if they feel its required, The (majority of) public will not give a damn and will not get involved.

And yes, I do know they make a noise, Use em all the time.

Whatever asshole, I was giving you some advice,Namely lock to a solid object and don't consider your lock impossible to cut.

Thats all, I have no idea why you would can't handle that, Nor do I care.

I didn't mean for a shitfight to break out

I know that home alarms can be set up to perform various programmable functions like call phones/cellphones etc, but I wonder if there's anything similar on the market that can be mounted on a bike.
