Cheers, will have a look but I'm pretty happy with my current set up. Nobody's grinding through 16mm of boron any time soon, I can say that much

Don't worry, I know exactly what those rats can do. I also used to be a teenager once
Watch this vid from 13:00, then imagine it without a vice and using battery grinders. Nobody's getting through this quickly any time soon:

Then they will probably go for the lock instead. Is that 16mm of boron?Cheers, will have a look but I'm pretty happy with my current set up. Nobody's grinding through 16mm of boron any time soon, I can say that much

It's this lock, designed to be as difficult as possible to grab on to whilst also getting awfully spinny when tackled with a grinder:
Tested: Pragmasis RoundLock motorcycle disc lock review
At just £39.99, the Pragmasis RoundLock is one of the toughest disc locks we’ve tested. Could this bargain budget lock be the best option? Full review…

Basically the whole idea is to be as much of a pita to get through, and I reckon this lock does it quite well.

RIP
But yes, make it as much of a PITA as possible so they walk past and go for an easier target.

It looks tough but how long did it take in ideal conditions, about a minute and 1 disc? So maybe 2 mins in non-ideal conditions?Don't worry, I know exactly what those rats can do. I also used to be a teenager once

Look at this Litelok X3 angle grinder resistance test (gave up after 25 mins):
Bennets had more success:
I think that's about 5 minutes and 4 discs.

It is, it won't stop them picking up your bike and loading it onto a van or something but should stop the push/ride away thefts. I've really gone to town on security for my bike even though it's in a camera'd up/alarmed locked garage behind a 6 foot high fence, i had 2 bikes stolen in 2010 it was an awful experience, I used to be really lax about my security and that theft taught me a hard lesson.

That lock does look seriously impressive, only thing is it doesn't lock the bike to anything. It'd go well with my chain however. Hmmmm.

Well that was fun. First a few mins pootling on a BMW G310, followed by some yard maneuvers on an FZ1. Like a duck to water, instructor reckons a morning training for mod 1, pass mod 1, rest of the day out on the roads, mod 2 the next day and done.
That FZ1 felt rather tasty, I must be honest.
Spent half of the day with 2 mates bike shopping, one is looking to get another bike and other is in the middle of doing his DAS and wanted to sit on a few to give him an idea of what to get as a first big bike. I showed them the spot (was on the way to a dealership) I failed my DAS Mod2 on and explained where I was etc. One of my mates was shocked that he failed me for it, can't blame him though, he said the same thing, "I don't think, I would pass Mod2, if I had to retake it..." Same words I said to a few mates when I booked in my progressive test from A2 to A (DAS), too many bad habits that I make on autopilot without noticing.
I was a bit annoyed, none of the places had the MT09, I'm thinking of getting the MT09 SP, if I pass that is.

Well, one of the comments the instructor had yesterday was that my shoes would likely be a problem on exam day, so naturally I went completely overboard and bought a pair of Dainese. And the Alpine Stars looked good so it'd be rude not to
They told me that its a requirement to have footwear that covers the ankles.
Depends how picky the examiner is I imagine, they advise sturdy footwear so there's no way they should be letting people in trainers do their tests.

Legally i think a helmet is all thats required but i imagine if you turned up in t-shirt and trainers even if they would take you out they'd be looking for a reason to fail you.
