I have thought about it at indy though... wonder if they'll have lockers available?



i wouldn't worry too much about it at indy, its gonna be bike enthusiasts... what stupid fucker is going to mess with some other bikers gear around thousands of bikers?

but yea, there are fuckers out there that like to mess with shit. but then those people are just as likely to mess with your bike or car or whatever. i figure so long as you park it in an open area there shouldnt be any problems. I'm just throwing ideas out there.

yeah I understand... and I figure at indy... if you make it even a little bit tough... they'll pass... as there will be HUNDREDS of bikes and I'm sure more than one will be easy prey...



I like the idea... but I'd wear your oldest jacket... ya know? just incase someone trys fuck'n with it... your not out your newest one...

and looping it through a spot on the bike and putting one end up the sleeve and throwing it over the saddle.

anybody ever thought of this?
That's exactly what I did when I rode to Carlisle. Just used a bicycle lock through the sleeves and chinbar and swingarm/frame. At the one bike night I went to, I left my stuff unlocked, but I was never out of eyesight.

Exactly my thinking. You get a lot more random assholes at something like a concert that's going to draw more people. Other riders are more likely to be respectful since they can relate. Still, somewhere you'll be away for any amount of time, it's smart to lock it up. Otherwise, I always carry my stuff- doesn't matter if I'm away for 10 seconds.

NTS I have a tiny cable combination lock I was going to use for something but now I'm not. You can have it for a beer, I'll bring it to the rally. It will do what you mentioned above.

I use one of these. It's not as secured as a heavy cable, but it's easy to carry in the jacket pocket. And it's strong enough to resist people pulling it apart.

I just ordered the same thing made by Kryptonite. I'm going to give that a shot and see if it's easier to carry around then a cable lock.
