Harrywr65 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Hello guys, just picked up a wicked little thing! its an Oxford disc brake lock/alarm, payed roughly £35. Very loud at 100db, very good quality for money too! It's very sensitive as well, I put my key in the ignition and it goes off, Thought I'd post it up for anyone who's looking for a cheap little deterrent!! http://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorcycling/motorcycle-security/oxford-screamer-alarm-disc-lock. 1
Moderator Airhead Posted December 28, 2015 Moderator Posted December 28, 2015 Sounds good Harry...Pun intended Everything helps, especially parking in safe places
captf Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I have one. Pain in the bum when the batteries are dying and you're nowhere near home. It beeps constantly. [or have no tiny allen key to remove the batteries] I ended up just treating it as a normal disc lock, and ignore the screamer part - too sensitive at times, anyway 1

Even so it's changed up to a decent ground anchor and the disc brake lock/alarm. Been looking about to get an alarm fitted but haven't had much joy round my area. Luckily enough it's blocked in by a fleet of bloody vans and cars in my driveway so it's not too bad! On 28 December 2015 at 11:31 PM, captf said: I have one.

I'm on extra alert at too (pool cue at hand) as 3 bikes got stolen a few nights ago in my area, took a sledge hammer to a wall and pushed them out. Bloody bastards !
Campaman Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 There was a report on HFM just before Xmas from the police warning owners in the Harborough area that there had been a few thefts of bikes, mainly ones that had been left out the front in the Northampton road area.
