Rodders Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm about to put an order through at Sportsbikeshop, and need something >£6 to be able to use a discount code I have.I don't have a bike yet, or any security equipment for when I do get a bike, and I saw a few disc locks for little money. I wondered if they were a good idea or not for carrying around when nipping into the shops etc?https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/74349Or, can you suggest something else to spend £6 on? I'm buying waterproof trousers, I've thought about cleaning products, visor wiper, neck warmer etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 A £6 disc lock.....is it made of cheese or chocolate? Yummy. Seriously, I would spend it on some thing useful like ear plugs or a scarf.You get what you pay for.....and £6 ain't a lot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 That's what I thought, but then there are a few options out there under £10 and the reviews are positive.But I wonder how often I'll be out without a more serious lock. I mean, given that I intend to have some way of carrying serious security for day trips then I may as well use that all the time.OK, so neck scarf might be the best option.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Those things are a bit of a menace - unless you attach a lanyard to it that wraps around the throttle you will one day try riding off with it attached to the disc and end up lying in the road with the bike on top of you.

Arwen Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 For £6, I'd say buy a buff/neck warmer if you have not already got one. Otherwise, stock up on chain lube, cleaner or acf-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 If you get a disc lock don't forget to get a reminder cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I ordered a neck scarf thing. But I'm going to consider those cheap disc locks for a future purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mawsley Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Put two or three in a sock and you have an instant bike-jacking deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
