Hey Username, don't take offense. Everyone on here is an expert. You are correct, it's not a disc lock nor nothing like one. It's made in America so yes, the price is more than if the company farmed out to China etc, and then everyone on here would flame that too. It's all good. Hope you like yours! Keep in mind also, that those who complain about spending 3 bills to secure their bike, think nothing of spending 3 bills for decorative chrome, fancy paint or anything else which serves no purpose other than aesethics. 
I think the RoadLok looks like a damn fine product. I'd buy it for under $100, but not for the current price.
Bear in mind that bike thieves can roll up in a van with four guys and two metal pipes.quote]
Cheap on security but spending a $1000 in chrome is not objection....
Or four smart thieves would just steal the bike sitting next to yours without a lock.

Disc locks are only helpful in preventing "roll away" theft. It may be enough to make a theif look elswhere. If you are worried about driving off with it still on the bike, PUT IT ON THE REAR ROTOR, It's hard to "roll away" a bike with a locked up rear wheel and if you forget to remove it, it will stop you but you probably won't drop the bike.

The Xena disc locks (http://www.xenasecurity.com) have a motion alarm so if you even sit on the bike without taking it off it will definitely remind you. Not even a chance of you driving off with it still on the disc unless you're blitzed...

Boy, you're a pissy little sort, aren't you?

[QUOTE=wbeem;4588310]No, actually just the opposite really. It's just that everyone seems to know so much without researching much. So, I truly believe in the product and my comments are factual. A good share of bikers do spend thousands on Harley accessories just to make their bike look better, but when you talk about spending a few hundred to protect a 20k dollar bike, that's absurd. So yes, those comments get my attention. Pissy? No...just making an observation. One small part of the lock costs the company close to 20 bucks that we could have made in China for $3 but we choose to keep it all U.S. made.
My favorite comments include the "4 men and 2 pipes" which I hear frequently. Yes, that can happen, but research motorcycle theft in the USA. 65 to 70% are "roll away" or "ride away" thefts.
To each their own. Buy what you will. To me, my bike is worth the best.
Hey! When you are in town, stop in...the coffee is on me!

Well, here's what I meant by noting that you're a pissy one. You quote my message, but then talk to someone else. That's lame. It's the kind of thing some little ****-ant would do.
So you disagree with me. Big deal. Is this the first time you've disagreed with someone on the Internet, or do you typically mock those who don't share your EXPERT views?
Now go crawl back under your rock until your Momma teaches you some social values.

You are right. I stand corrected. The coffee is still on.

If I mention it now - not being a sponsor anymore - this thread could magically disappear and I could get some hate mail...haha.

Oh ok...duh, guess I should have figured that out. I can understand both sides of the point that is attempting to be made. I do sometimes see some products that no matter how important they may be to the issue they claim to address, that I cannot justify the cost in my current state of thinking. Of course that changes...I never thought I would spend the money I did on saddlebags, but over time my thinking changed.
As far as bike security goes, I am in the school of thought that if someone wants your bike bad enough, they will find a way to take it. I think most bike thieves commit thefts as a matter of opportunity. If I can make it inconvenient then I think it may lessen the chances of him choosing my bike. I had my first Harley stolen from outside of a bar...I didn't have any security measures in place on it at the time.
Just my 2 cents worth.
