Puttin' the bikes in the motel room is a lot quicker than having to pull the trunk and remove the saddlebags each night. Thievery aside... I just don't want someone dickin' with my machine overnight and leaving me stranded in Toad Squat, Utah.

This disc lock just arrived today. I love it! It is a good heavy chunk of steel with a good lock. It looks nice, and it fits across our discs without having to drill them. Plus they are cheap!

I have a nice bright red one like that with the coiled reminder from the lock to the handlebar.
I used to use a padlock but forgot to remove it once
. The bike fell over almost trapping me between the bike and a wall. The lock bent and almost couldn't get it off.

Way back when I had a ground floor apartment with double doors. It had prviously been the business office. Anyway I was able to squeeze the bike I was riding inside for work during the winter. I'd slide the couch over to one side and cover the floor with cut up cardvoard boxs. Hoever is was so I could work on it in a warm and dry place.
The Mongrel is probably the rattyest bike in the neighboorhood and I'm the best armed... The cheap alarm I have on it has only been set off from the vibes of the garbage truck. Having the Mongrel ripped off is the least of my worries.

Oh yeah!?!?!? Where exactly do you live again?? I wonder if they don't prosecute bike thefts THERE also?? lol. Since YOU own that bike, I can only assume everything ELECTRICAL works great on it!Having the Mongrel ripped off is the least of my worries.

The electrics work fine. It's the clutch that's the problem at the moment.

my new house has no garage so it sits outside(in the back yard).. I have not got to touch it since hurricane rita came thru.. i could leave the key in it and watch the fun of someone trying to steal it.. front wheel wont turn, dead battery and 3 dogs... atleast SWMBO said i could build a ramp to get it on the front porch when i'm done with the house... good thing i put a 4x6 under that section of deck for support...
did i mention the .357 in the night stand...lol
