Wrong. cable is EASIER than chain to cut. a purpose built kryptonite chain secured to an eyelet in something like a parking stop and run through your swingarm at the shock mount area, or better yet, your frame is best.

chaining to your wheels means that if the thieves have tools, you'll come out to a wheel or two just laying ther and the rest of the bike GONE.

your BEST bet is FULL COVERAGE insurance, and a good alarm. Phantom makes an alarm that works like lojack, but is more precise if I remember right.
