If you go for the anti-pinch pin, here's the link:

You want a 490mm to go through a pointy. The heatproof tubing you can buy for it is worth getting IMO. NB: You need the squire padlock to use it, but they are well worth getting anyway.

I had an immobiliser which saved me £10 a year, I took it out, it's worth paying an extra £10 to not have to deal with a ****ing immobiliser.

haha, it's ridiculous really that insurance only have a few categories for where the bike is stored, mine would be in a room with a code locked door in a secure underground car park. Chances of anyone getting in there are slim and none.

My 650 is stored in a hanger guarded by 100 SF personnel at the moment and the 800 is here on the steering lock in my parents garden (I'm visiting)....



...I think I may have my priorities the wrong way around.

Yep, I get penalised because I commute on mine, but when it's parked at work it's inside a bank security compound which contains, among other things, more money than you can fit in a really big truck. If anyone does break in, a ratty old SV will be low on their hit list

Carole Nash wouldn't class our bike as garaged, because it was in the house (W*nk*rs)

Footman James, on the other hand, had the appreciation that it was better than a garage. After all, a garage can be some ratty lock up not even attached to your property, but that would be better than a front room, me and my crossbow? I don't think so

gonna get a ground anchor in my new garage when I've got some money spare. How much does it usually cost for a proper tradesman to come and cement it in for ya?
