Litelock

[Stu]

I have seen this advertised in a fair few places which could be useful for short trips and touring

Not the cheapest but you would pay more than this for something 7 times the weight 

 

And it seems incredibly tough

You might want to take a look at this before you rush out and buy one.

Litelok got in touch with that guy and they are not the usual type of bolt cutters.

I wasn't aware that thieving scumbags had a code not to use good tools. You live and learn eh?

[Pie man]

It also makes me wonder what tools 'Sold Secure' were using too

[Throttled]

As the LockpickingLawyer states, no lock is resistant to someone who knows what they are doing, which is any thief who knows how to buy a decent cable cutter, in this case HK Porter 28" for about £90.

This is like saying your FJR is shit because some have second gear problems and some have TPS problems etc etc! 

 

Not all thieves carry these sorts of tools and for your opportunist thief the lock will be good enough

It's much easier to cut through when it's loose, attach it to a bike and see if it's still as easy

Yup and here you are again  

[raesewell]

I was just passing on the information. Go ahead and buy as many as you like, it'll probably be good enough.

Was that an implication that I am a thief?

cheapskate opportunist thieves..... not being able to afford decent tools  to nick your bike, what area  are you most likely to come across an opportunist thief and be in the knowledge your bike wont get nicked because of their inferior choice  of tools ?

Agreed and his recommended bike lock is the Kryptonite Evolution Chain Lock (Series 4). I know he means bicycle, but it would do for a motorbike.

Opportunistic thief would have already nicked a battery angle grinder or bought a cheap one from aldi and non of your locks are safe.

 

The tool in the video looks like a steel cable cutter doing what it was designed for.

 

Security is always a trade off, a lightweight lock is better than no lock.

The scum are more likely to use a battery grinder than those specific cutters.

Best not to leave your bike unattended, if you do park it behind all the others you go out with.

Or have one you love that no rat bag would give a second thought.

My old Honda fits the bill nicely. I do enjoy having something I can leave anywhere and not worry about it.

[James in Brum]

My ZZR Fits the bill. 30 years old, not shiny or classic. But I Bloomin love it.
