Re: when do you lock it up?
It's considered bad form to go around reposting on an old post. People are starting to talk. Word is there's a gravedigger about 

People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Re: when do you lock it up?
Holy dead thread resurrection!
I only ever lock my handlebars. Past that, I have full coverage for a reason.
Although on that note, a buddy had his GSXR1000 stolen out of a key-coded parking garage last year. He bought an R1 to replace it. He came home from a week in Vegas (he also has a drag car that runs 9.1s) to find the ignition broken, the chain cut, but they gave up when they realized he had a disc lock on the front rotor. That was in a different part of the parking garage where guests are not allowed and there is a security guard on duty that somehow "didn't hear" his 120 dB disc lock alarm screaming in an enclosed parking garage from a floor away.

Re: when do you lock it up?
I like disk locks, especially ones with alarms. Pretty hard to get a crowbar or boltcutter in them, I'd imagine.
