The something immovable bit is easy and obvious - lamppost, roadsign etc. The something impenetrable bit is a bit less obvious. The world of motorcycle security chains is peppered with marketing bull**** that is misleading at best. "Crop-resistant" is my favourite. It means absolutely nothing, and if you search on youtube it won't take you long to find videos of big-brand "crop-resistant" chains being cropped by hand with a pair of 42" Records.
A bit more research and you will find some smaller names producing some serious hardware that they guarantee is uncroppable, along with the youtube vids to prove it. Almax in particular are good at this kind of promotion, and you will find them mentioned on quite a few forums. However, I bought a 16mm Pragmasis Protector (www.torc-anchors.com), and my word it's a beast. It weighs a ton and as expected it isn't one for carrying to the shops with you. It is however the perfect chain for using at home and helping you sleep easy.
I have two locks for this chain. The 'Untouchable' is a unique, small, portable design and is available from torc-anchors.com, and The Oxford Boss Disc Lock Alarm is a more traditional padlock-type device with an inbuilt alarm system.
The fitting of a front disc gives you the option to use a disc lock too. The SPAQ/Sterling (same as ScootRS) discs have limited space for a disc lock, but after a bit of trial and error I found that one fits and works well - the Xena XZZ6 Disc Lock Alarm. It's strong, well built, loud, and portable.
I also bought an Oxford Nemesis to back this up - it too fits onto the front disc.
