How do you secure your motorcycle against being used without permission?

Your answer is correct. In Germany, to prevent unauthorized use of a motorcycle, the key steps are removing the ignition key and closing the steering lock. Removing the ignition key ensures the engine cannot be started. Closing the steering lock secures the handlebars in a fixed position, making it difficult to steer or move the motorcycle. Disconnecting the battery is not commonly required for everyday security and is more technical and inconvenient. These two measures together effectively reduce the risk of theft or unauthorized use.
