I've always put the disc lock on the forward part of the disc so you can't roll more than an inch or two before it hits. But the lock only goes on when I'm at a show or motel and then a cable goes through two or three bikes so you can't move the rides until all the locks are off.

disc lock...
...OK then! I fully intended to get the orange coil cord as soon as I was able to find one. I shouldn't have used the lock until I had the cord obviously. Basically, it was a dry run using it for the first and ONLY time.
You should have heard the wife yelp about the total of the repair bill!
We're traveling soon on a long-distance vacation and trailering the bike there. I got rid of my 12'-0" trailer for an enclosed trailer yesterday, of the same length for security while we're vacationing.
Yes, trailering. I was in a serious accident 11 years ago which prohibits me from riding great lengths, but at least I can still ride some.
Thanks for chiming in.

Stupid is as stupid does
I put a normal master lock thru the rear disc brake after loading my Deuce into the back of my PU last week when I was attending a reunion in upstate NY. I thought that since it was parked in the hotel parking lot, all another PU had to do was undo my straps, back their truck up to the back of mine, and push it from my truck to their truck, tie it down using my straps and drive off.
Then I forgot about it and went to unload it in front of several people but it kept stopping just about where the ramp started. So I just kept moving forward and going backwards faster and faster. Finally, one of my buds said, hey stupid, there's a lock on the brake.
Duh oh yea I forgot about that. But as far as I can tell, no damage done.

Mine was a locksmith before he went into the Navy during WWII and he always said nearly the same thing. Locks only keep honest people honest. At best most are not much more than an inconvienience to a true professional.
