Thanks a lot for this, it's a very good point regarding the insurance; I'll make sure of that. I would have been super happy to put it in my parking spot with a ground anchor, was it not for the fact that it's 10 meters away and not in the camera field of view

Thank you

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, it's really appreciated! Sorry I should have mentioned it: it's a Kawasaki VN900 Classic. In terms of insurance, as I am moving these days, the bike is still in the old bike shed; I'll have to update it once I will get the chain and all the tools I need to lock it properly.

Thank you all for the responses, it's much appreciated. My only fear right now for locking the bike on the lamp post is that the chain might end up touching the floor, especially if I buy an heavy one (like the Pragmasis 19mm or similar) because of the weight of the actual chain. I already bought a decent disc lock (or at least I think it's decent!), and hopefully together with chain and cover it will act as deterrent...

Oh nice! Thank you for pointing it out.

Thanks a lot for the responses! I am currently looking at getting this chain (I hope it's good): https://securityforbikes.com/proddetail.php?prod=P19-x.x-SS80CS-NW4 I do have permission for the ground anchor, but the problem is that I can only install it on my assigned parking spot that is not directly outside of my door (and definitely outside of my camera field of view), but about 10mt away: that is the only reason I am considering the lamp post, only because it's right outside my front door. However, I am happy to install a ground anchor if that is the best solution... I am looking at bike tracking devices as well, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I am new to this forum, so I hope I am posting this in the right section! I've recently moved home and with the move I lost access to a bike shed I was using to keep my bike in. Unfortunately, for a number or reasons, I need to leave my bike outside. I am not on a main road, it's a residential entirely new area that is currently still being built and my house is among the ones that are furthest from the main road. I already have a disc lock and a full cover. I am looking to buy one of either Almax or Pragmasis chains to secure my bike and I'd like some help if possible. At least initially, the bike will be right outside of my main door and it will be chained to a lamp post. Can I ask you which size in mm would you recommend? Should I go for the 19mm or will a lower size be sufficient? Additionally, regarding the ground anchor: should I install it even though my parking space it is not directly outside of my front door (and outside the field of view of my camera)? or will the lamp post suffice? Just as FYI my parking spot is possibly 10 meters from my door on the left hand side, in front of one of my neighbors door (yeah, new houses built weirdly). Thanks and apologies for the long post.
