locks??

First topic message reminder :

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?

With the boot on the cat you should be able to fit a big ass chain under the seat.

I had the alarm, the tool kit, the oxford monster chain and disklock under the seat.

I got this from Hein Gerike (or however you spell it) and the chain as a set when I got in to biking in 2005

I now just keep the disclock under the seat

ahh, but bearing in mind the forecast, the space under my seat is taken up with very unflattering waterproofs

Ahhh, this is true, I never thought of that...

Buy a small daysack and bung your waterproofs etc. in there.
