Bike Lock

[JimInPT]

Just bought a RAd Rover 6. I scooped up a foldy lock. It's foldable and similar to the kryptonite locks.

Here's a video of the first cracking method for folding locks that came to mind.  Lockpicking Lawyer didn't even need to bother picking it: https://youtu.be/Y3NmIAWRjxI

After spending a few minutes considering the beefier and more-expensive Granit 6500 folding lock from ABUS, then seeing that video, I bought these:

They store neatly alongside my rear basket as shown in this picture:

Well, I'm moving to the #2 metro in our state.  I have a 5x approach to security.  I have a 2020 RW4.  I've gotten all ABUS devices but one..."the monster chain", the pair of disk locks, the long reach U-lock, the long reach Bar Lock.  And finally the TILE beginner kit.  A card for my wallet, a dongle for both sets of keys, and a "tiny puck" that mounts nicely and is well hidden under the controller.  I also have Velocycle Insurance, at about 2x the replacement for my bike would be.  Since it has already gone up $800 in 12 months, for the base, plus all the accessories I have.  Those $15 PRC alarm locks don't look much more than the Blue Handle Channel Lock pliers would take 5 seconds to crush.  Not impressed.  I'm still looking in higher-end motorcycle circles.  Honda, BMW, BULE, Dukati.  Nothing for a "hog".... sorry.

My dad's '37 Indian Scout had the simplest of security devices.  Spark Advance, 3 spd transmission, and a separate oil tank. Besides the ultra-smooth riding 3 leaf front spring.  OMG
