whats the best security i can use to protect my bike for the lowest price, ill have about 50 quid to spend. ive been told not to use disk locks as they damage the disks, if the bike gets pushed around.
all opinions welcome,

thanks nick

i say ground anchor is thats what i have in my shed, simple all i did was drill a hold in the wooden floor and then but about 2 foot of cement with one huge naff-off I bolt, drill a hole not much bigger than the pole, fill it with selant, and then hammer the bugger into the ground, this creates a suction effect on the bolt and aslo its under the floor boards so they would have to lift the floor boards before even getting the the anchor, then steveh would be out with his baseball bat, chasing you chav twats down the street Razz

For £50 the biggest chain you can find and a disc lock. Yes disc locks could damage the bike if you try to ride off with them on, the answer to that is don't. Razz

You're not going to get an alarm for £50.

Datatag is all very well but it doesn't actually stop your bike being nicked, it just means you're slightly more likely to see it (in one piece or in parts) at some point again.

Ground anchor is useful for at home, but not worth spending lots of your budget on one as security out and about places is also useful.

Ste, you can get fancy alarms for £25 on ebay.. see the thread, errr, somewhere, about them.

May not be thatcham aproved, but will deter the average chav-thief.

I'd go for that and a nig chain if you're going to carry it around.
Or a disc lock for away and cheap chain for at home.

May not defend against determined thievs, but they're probably going after bigger bikes.

G is right ste. you can get a sola-larm for 50 quid. the problem with this is that when it goes off, you could laugh at the sound of it. my brother has it on his cbr400, and compared to my spyball patriot, it's kinda useless in frightening off some scum. but then again it is 6 times cheaper than my alarm Embarassed
nothing can compete against a ground anchor
