I lock the steering ... makes it a bit more difficult to move.
but if they want to steal it, they will...

cable kinda lock, lock the bike to a pole or structure?

All this does is stops a thief from pushing the bike to a location away from sight, and then loading it onto a bakkie.

It will probably deter the opportunistic thief, but thats about it.

Better than nothing. If there's two identical scoots parked next to each other and one has and the other hasn't - guess which one is being taken.

Insurance is my answer to that problem.

Locks will probably cause me to create a claim.

I can lock the steering and and make use of an actual lock, but the msx is so tiny and light that it probably won't make a difference. A big enough guy can probably pick it up if he wants to :wtf:

I understand that.

but shopping and going to a mall are different things. I HATE malls.
and walking around a mall and in bike gear it gets even worse.

Now I get what you saying, agree 100%.

Not going to a place of shopping > Shopping Center (with Free parking) > Shopping Mall

Guys, Im looking for an extended warranty for my motorcycle, something that will cover me in the case of mechanical breakdown.

I know you get quite a few options when it comes to cars, does anyone have any experience with warranties for bikes?

Recommendations who to use, who to stay clear of?
