my home done bike lock

[asel.mike]

I used some grade 70 3/8" chain I had lying around. I cut it into 20 link long sections then sleeved it in a leather sleeve to protect the paint of the bike. I also had the leather lying around (another small hobby of mine)
so far the total cost is $0 so tomorrow I will head out to the store and get myself a nice lock for it
I think this is much better than anything else at the pricepoint I'll end up at!

do you guys think this is even worth while or should i get a u lock?

I'd gravitate towards the purchase of a U-lock but that seems decent enough for now especially with a quality padlock. If you're town is a small town I'd say your lock setup is fine due to the fact everyone knows you and your motor bicycle, so anyone else riding your baby would be pretty obvious..

A disc lock, heavy but no shackle to cut.

ill roll with this as a temporary fix
ill probably get two u locks sometime in the future
i live in a big town, but crime isnt a huge issue here. if i decide to venture into houston i will need a better lock
