I don't know anything about dirt bikes, but do they have fork locks? I have no problem parking my motorcycle anywhere, because I always lock the forks, turn off the fuel and take the key with me.

I have 2 in the stable and mine do but they're over 20 yrs. old.
I quit using them years ago after seeing the damage done by someone attempting to snap them open by jamming the handlebars.

Really? Pure off road motocross and enduro bikes (not dual sports called enduros)? All those that I rode from the '70's and '80's didn't even have keys. Only way to prevent theft was to take your spark plug with you. But then, almost no one was riding them on the street either.

You're right, my bad, they're not what you'd call pure.
Probably fall into the on/off road category.

On most bikes, forks locks can be snapped with a hard yank on the handlebars

Two days after the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee cleanup in the 24th/25th Districts, residents woke up to this on the Kensington Avenue corridor. These photos, one including a street full of maggots, were provided this morning.

Photos are priceless
