In all my years of Motorcycling tbh I hardly ever used a steering lock then on my 250 Dream it was seized solid from lack of use when I tried to lock it!

My 500, No 36, was knicked and pushed away after breaking the Honda steering lock then torched cos they couldnt start it

The fact is though Bryan is that without the steering lock they could just push it away to work on starting it very easily and without any drama, breaking a steering lock is noisy and attracts attention and most times that's enough to put them off.

It's not foolproof but it is a deterrent. Every little helps, so they say.
