I have a related question: when I get my new bike, I thought I'd get a
Kryptonite and when the occasion warranted, I could put the lock around
a wheel.  Am I under the mistaken impression that a motorcycle thief
doesn't try to start and drive away a 500 pound machine?  Do they instead
simply hoist it up on their shoulders and put it in the back of a truck?
I know there probably aren't too many motorcycle thieves here on the net,
but perhaps somebody has read something about theft prevention.
