Lock forks, generic bike cover, and park under a light or in view of motel lobby.

Do have a large Master Lock, that fits through the rotor holes on a Suzuki I had, and worked fine on that bike. Used a cable lock on the BMW and Triumph. Still have that Master lock somewhere, I think.

that's F**ing nuts



I have an aftermarket alarm and a disc lock alarm on it when out and about. at home it has the alarm, disc lock, and a 1/2" cable to somthing. I want to find a small cable to keep in my back pack but haven't got it yet.

There was another thread asking this, just recently.

I have the neck lock and the siren, alarm, pager set up. I'd like to get the disk brake lock but it weighs a ton and I don't have a place for it.

But like I said in the other thread, those things are just deturants for the average POS thief. If someone really wants your bike, they're going to take it.
