I take two locks with me.
1. A disclock for use if I'm just parking up to see something and the bike is going to be out of sight. And 2. a Litelok Core for overnight use, (regardless of how secure the secure parking claims to be). The Litelock isn't actually that light, but does kind of form a ring around the inside of my top box so isn't really that much of an issue to carry.

Been going through some old paperwork, found a page I'd pulled out from a 1979 Cycle Guide magazine.
It recommends Kryptonite Motorcycle Locks,

Xena alarmed disc lock on the front and rear, then some cheeky sh1t chains a GS to it ( of all things) If they want to cut of 2 Xena alarmed disc locks and a chain then fair play they've worked hard and can have it. Only down side is they will leave the GS....

Am A bit OTT when overnight from home. I have a heavy chain and a large padlock, forgot the make. An Oxford disc lock and a basic alarm. I use a when saying at a European trip as many have no gates. Whilst in Devon i just used the disc lock and the alarm as the farmhouse i was staying out was at the end of a 3 mile lane and my bedroom overlooked the bike.
The way i look at it is if any hundreds of miles from home, it's a bloody long walk

Does your bike look like this when you're out and about:

The lock arrived today and I have to say,on first looks,I like it.Feels very robust and an ideal size to pack away in the top box or even the tank bag.I may add the chain at a later stage but not really bothered about that at the moment.
Hopefully I never have to find out how good it is.

Think I've got issue's. Hiplock gave me a 20% discount on my next order after I had filled out the life time warranty. The new chain is on its way
