I always lock my bike when over-nighting on the road. Use brake disk locks. Cheap insurance.

 

I set the alarm and put a padlock in each rotor, pain it the a$$ but wth...

 

^^^Agree^^^

Cheaper than many available locks, not as bulky and a bitch to try & cut...if they have the time to work through it then...let them have the bike. That's why we have insurance...

 

Ignition lock works much better when I used the right key.........

 

This is what I used to do: Ideally it got parked where I could see it from my room. Chained to another bike or post with hi security chain and lock, forks locked, and front disc locked (Roadlok). Driveway motion detector on seat on in saddlebag (receiver in my room). Then it got covered with a unbranded bike cover. I would then be up and down all night checking on it.

Now I park it in a dark area with the key in the ignition and hope it's gone in the morning .

 

Anytime my bike is out of my sight I lock the ignition, very seldom do I lock the forks...I do admit, sometimes I get nervous about leaving it outside (i.e. hotel, etc.)...

 

I park it behind the other bikes and lock the ign. and have a disc lock . always park in front of the room..or in the room if it fits

 

Most hotels we stay at has Motorcycle parking right by the front doors..
I have always just locked the ign and front, that's it...
My overnigher bag comes off in secs. and it goes in the room with me.

 

Ignition lock, fork lock, disc lock, cable through wheel and frame, cheap $20-$25 Walmart cover.
Bike also has a self installed kill switch.
Layers of security with the cheap cover being the first plus the cover keeps drunks and kids off the bike.

 

I lock it up and use a non logo cover.
