Thieves
Maybe I trust too many people but I almost never lock anything on my bike.
How many of you have had things stolen off your bike? In all the miles I ride and places I go I never see anybody thatt draws my attention toward a bike that would make me thing they are stealing something off the bike. I was a trained observer for many years and can pretty much still spot a crook

I've had that silly lock cover HD sells for your tourpack stolen twice - different locations too. Somebody just opens the thing and pulls - off it comes for a nice Harley souvenir. I almost hate leaving my helmet locked onto the bike rather than in the tourpack (when it is full of other gear). The only place I don't lock my bike up is at the Harley store. Anybody that wants to screw with someone's scoot in front of a Harley store is too stupid to live any longer...

Bunch of public trusting folks here, I lock everything down unless it is in my line of sight and even then I at least lock the bars and ignition. Today I forgot the small cable lock for the helmets and was quite unhappy to leave them on the bike in a remote area unlocked. I live in Nazifornia and talking mean to a fhole who was ripping me off will probably wind up with me in jail. Why take a chance ?

I lock whenever I can or have that funny 'hair on the back of neck' sensation.
