hey-- so I guess I'm a novice, because I haven't met the 5-post quota required to see photos and do PMs on this forum, plus before buying an 09 SG in June I had not had a bike for about 25 years. Sh*&, some of the first rides on the busy highways around us here in DC were very scarry. Getting over that. Still, my bike seems as big as my convertible and may weigh as much.
Anyhow, I went with the securtiy lock that does not have a bolt twisting into the saht on the quick release because I don't like the possibility of marring that shaft.
