Gah, this is turning into an epic. I've gotta reorganize the entire garage to get the CBR in and I appear to have accumulated more crap than a crap magnet! I've spent all day sorting it out and on my second run to the dump! 

Like my airsoft stuff, I have too much of it. 😂

Wife's not happy either but meh, she'll live.😁

Ok, so CBR is inbound next week, the garage now has a defined spot where its going to live (is big...LOL).

so after youtubing myself to death and still ending up confused, what security do people use? It looks like the shopping list from an S&M specialist but i'm looking at a ground anchor, a 16mm chain with big ol' lock, disc lock and maybe a U lock for when i'm (eventually) out on it.

Apparently it has an alarm and is datatagged. 

Sound about right?

These locks on my garage door.  I have a wall anchor, but don't bother locking on to it any more as thieves would have to cut or drill the door locks, so I'm not going to get any more awake.

 

A disk lock on the front and a light chain (I think 10mm) and basic padlock on the rear when parked up outside for any length of time.  I used to haul a 16mm anchor chain around, but cropping is old school now. A battery angle grinder will go through any chain in a matter of seconds, no matter what they claim to the contrary, so it's really just a "Please steal the bike next to mine" request.  If they want it, they'll have it.

 

I do keep the chain off the ground by running it through the back wheel and over the seat, but more out of habit, as that's only really a consideration for croppers.

 

I never use the steering lock, as thieves can break those without breaking stride. It won't stop them, and if you do get it back, you'll get it back with a broken lock.

Thanks, @Rogerborg. Much appreciated. Unfortunately i may have to get creative with the garage door as its used at least four times (me & wifes cars) a day and is an electric up and over type. I'd love to change it for a sectional one but theyre stupid money. 

I'll invest in the those locks for the very much unused pedestrian door though. :)
