"You know what sucks? Getting your pride and joy stolen. You know what’s easy? Keeping your bike safe. But doing so isn’t so much a case of fitting an alarm or buying a lock, it’s more a way of thinking and a system of practices you need to learn to live by. Like good riding, it’s just a skill you have to learn if you’re going to be a lifelong motorcyclist. Don’t worry, we’re here to help."

I like the idea of a tub of concrete, coupled with an almax chain. Depending on the condo board, that could help a lot of guys out there parking their bikes alone in the parking garage with no pillar to attach to.

Don't live in a condo, end thread?

When I lived in an apartment I filled two 18L Culligan water jugs with concrete and a few feet of rebar that went from the bottom to out the top just enough to slip a chain through, but not enough to fit an entire hand in (maybe three fingers). I used the smooth jugs without handles, and three bags of readimix concrete. 18L of mixed concrete is about 100 lbs. I basically created two 100 lb anchors and used two separate chains. Never had a problem with the bike during my four years there. They sat in the corner of my spot chained together when not in use, and I never had anyone complain about them. When I moved I tried to give the anchors away here on the board several times, and never had any takers. Oh well, they're gone now.
