Tie your bike to one of these - my dog = 52kg of teeth and muscle.

Gorgeous dog there appolo.

A friend of mine once walked into his garage (part of the house) in a morning to find a would-be tea leaf on the floor in a puddle of pi$$. His 10 stone rottweiler sat on the guys chest with its teeth about 2" away from his nose ... slobbering and snarling a lot.

The police nicked the lad and they found in the interview he'd been there on the garage floor nearly 6 hours after breaking in through the window and being knocked flat by the hound before he could get out again!

Best line to the coppers "I should have fed the c##t to him... but that's a pedigree dog and I don't want him catching owt..."

That is so much like our old dog. Gorgeous fella there. Proper big boy at 52 kilos too. Very effective deterrent.

<--- Our new dog is bigger and heavier, but far too stupid, dopey and cowardly to be any use whatsoever. He doesn't even look scary

Almax are considering making something similar, the existing APP is made by this lot: http://www.torc-anchors.com/

That is a quality line by your mate about the dog, BTW

when i bought mine it was thatcham approved, and expensive. They do a couple of different ones I think, as this ones a few yrs old. Think they do an alarmed one too

and if its as good as this chain is, its good enough for me

Dizzy - Would you be able to tell me where you bought this from? I did some searching but just kept on bringing up US websites?

I think Dangerouslydave recomended feeding the chain through ya rear wheel and swingyarm.

Rear Wheel unbolted , bike slid out of chain , rear wheel put back in with spindle , bike wheeled away .

like around the pivot I think or through the wheel and the swingarm...hmm not sure

My only problem with this is the way my bike is parked , only have room to ride in and reverse out , So I would end up stubbing a foot on a ground anchor and lobbing my bike on the deck , has to be front for my ground anchor for the time being . Plan is to dig up my pathway and re-do the concrete and extend it sideways and sink an Anchor into the floor so that it is flush mounted , I can then chain the bike up in a better fashion

As long as you pass the chain so that one length goes through the wheel and the other stays outside of it, then without cutting the chain there's no way to take the wheel away. I think that would be enough to put most opportunists off, although it won't stop someone who really wants it and has the proper tools there and then.

They can still drag the bike out of the chain leaving the wheel behind , 3 guys could easily hold a bike up long enough to be turfed into the back of a van .... they ain`t gonna give 2 hoots about the rear wheel in the grand scheme of things .
