Lock It Up?

Post by KDX4ID »

Check this out...
I locked my bikes up and lost the key.

2 minutes later, a battery powered drill, and a 99 cent cutter I cut through this "hardened steel".

Lame.

I saw a video of a guy that bought a cordless dremel for $20.. from Walmart, and using a cutting wheel,cut through a Kryptonite bicycle lock in like 20 seconds. Scary. :shock:

My buddy can get through a lock like that in about 4 seconds. Much faster than screwing with the key, and no saw needed.

Locks just keep honest people honest

Locks keep honest people honest. A tweeker is gonna do what ever and without regard to his own safety. I now insure my stuff with a low deductible and not worry about it. My Dakar full coverage, including $2000 worth of aftermarket and riding gear, is $215 a year. Includes towing as well.

I'm half tempted to booby-trap my bikes so that a thief gets about 5 miles out and it blows up. BOOM!! That'll learn 'em!! However, I'm likely to forget to disarm when I go to ride. Ha! OW!!

I'd rather be a smartass like carvr, than a dumbass like.... well, you fill in the blank!
