Hey guys. Just wondering what is the best way to lock up my bike. I don't have my own home but i do have a semi secure garage. I figure it is relatively safe when there is an R6, a ducati (don't know which one) and an SV650 parked close to my car. Didint want to investigate what sort of security they had since it would look like im trying to steal their bikes. Besides having good insurance, what other ways to secure my bike do u suggest? Im thinking of picking up a disc lock since it can be stowed away quite easily.

I use a Kryptonite U lock through the rear wheel and a Krypto disk lock in the front.
I don,t believe 1 lock is enough.

nice. I'll definitely be saving this tidbit of info if I ever decide to start using a lock.

its not much help when i leave home but my 130 lbs German shepherd keep most people out of the yard and away from the bike!

i have no need for one at the house (garage) or at work (park inside the warehouse). if i am going to the mall or some idiotic place like that i always park beside the police lookouts. if i am going to a crime ridden area i take my truck.
