Default Advice in securing my bike

I will be going to a rally soon and need advice as to the best way to secure my bike. I have a '07 Wide Glide.
Large cable? Disk brake lock? ect.?

Thanks

Do more than one thing. Get a disc lock, and at least 1 heavy cable or chain. Will not stop the tow truck style thefts, but will deter all but the most fervent others.

I never do anything to secure a bike at the rallies, but many, many bikes are stolen annually from rallies. If you don't feel that you're bike's safe, take precautions. Or just park next to a nicer bike.

Best thing you can do? Make sure your insurance is paid up before you leave.

Lock your forks, get a disc lock, HD smart security system and siren, LOJAK, insurance to cover any losses, any combination or all of the above.
