locks??

ok, when on a weekend rideout, do any of you take locks etc for the bike, or do you have alarms or what ???
mine isnt alarmed, and the lock i use at home is too heavy and bulky to carry, so when out for the day i usually rely on the steering lock and the fact that its daylight.just not sure if that will be enough overnight away from home?

Never had any probs at BC, mainly cos its in the middle of nowhere & I'm always aware that there are plenty of bikes worth more than mine nearby if a thief takes his chances.

That said nothing is guaranteed

Hi Cath.

I'll bring my big one.
Dave's ducati will be there so we'll be ok.

Cheers

Fnarr fnarr!

I'm sure you'll be fine at BC without a lock. However, a little disc lock fits nicely under the seat (there's even a little rubber strap to hold it down) and gives me a bit of peace of mind if I leave it somewhere dodgy-looking like a city centre.

My 'cat has an alarm/immobiliser so I probably won't bother putting my disc lock on at BC. If it puts your mind at rest, give me a shout when I get there and I'll lend you mine.

Chances are, if someone is going to steal it, they'll humph it into the back of a van instead of going to the hassle of busting locks and riding it away.
My Meta alarm turned out to be a major hassle and resulted in a total strip out and replacement of the wiring loom.

Never bought a disc lock either because of the almost inevitable faceplant if the wee curly plastic wire that clips onto the handle bar breaks, gets ignored, or is missing altogether.

pete..thanks mate, and chris, that might be an offer i cant refuse, just as i dont know where the bunkhouse is in relation to the carpark, so might give me peace of mind. you're on the campsite too arent you?

I've got a puck packed too Cath. Not easy to say lol

p.s. The removal of the Meta alarm made absolutely zero difference to my insurance.

yeah, i'll be at the campsite as early as I can be - hopefully before about 4pm.

wooster's right though, if the toerags want it, they'll have it and no amount of alarms, locks, gps trackers, and whatnot will stop them. i wouldn't bother with anything wired into the bike, but as mine was there when I bought it and it helps keep my insurance down i'm letting it stay... for now!

well thinking of alarms guess what mine just started to play up hopefully its only a battery change in the fob

So if I summarise correctly.... at the 'campsite'....

Ross is going let Cath have his big one;
Cath 'doesn't know where the bunkhouse is in relation to the car park';
Chris has a little one he keeps under his seat with the rubber strap;
Wooster says they'll just humph it in the back of a van; :cyclops:
and
Cards is having battery problems.


This could be a memorable weekend. Did we mention the initiation ceremony?

Glad I'm not camping








PS this is meant to be harmless fun and should not be taken seriously - I'm just a 'benevolent sexist' :tongue:
