Well, you're right... A steering lock ain't much...
I posted a utube vid a while back of a guy stealing a bike...
He broke the steering lock in a couple of seconds just by turning the handlebars...
A Savage is not a popular bike for thieves... because it's not a popular bike... it also lacks the expensive plastic frills that squids are so good at scratching and breaking... and the expensive add-on parts that adorn Harleys...
So,.. it's not likely to be stolen.... if it is, it will be some kid lookin' for a joy ride...
At night, I run a cable through the spokes and lock it to the disc...
In parking lots,.. just try to park in an open, visible, area...
I also leave my helmet and gloves unattended on the bike... (this may make thieves think I'm not gone for long)...(I've even left shopping bags of stuff bungied to the bars)...
Never had anything stolen...
Those disc locks are supposed to be good,.. but two strong fella's can just lift the bike and throw it in a truck... (I've even seen a Harley stolen that way)...
I just try to make it look like this a bike you don't want to try to steal... (this bike belongs to someone that might not like you touching it)...
