Nooob !

[finniee]

Went to go for a wee run earlier, so got all the gear on and bike sorted went kind of like this.

Helmet - on
Jacket & trousers - on
Gloves and boots - on
Bag - on

Start up the bike put the side stand in, go to set off next thing im on the floor with the bike on top on me. Lying there thinking " what the f*ck, just happened?".

F*cking noob - left the disk lock on.

[Aff]

Next time, use the strap they provide or buy an alarmed disk lock.

Must have thought I had taken it off when I took the cover off.

[SteveZZR]

I was saved from this fate MANY times purely because of parking my bike in a position I had to push it backwards before setting off.

[hellkat]

Up.
You put the sidestand "up" not "in".

Noobs

Driven off with the disk lock still on, moi?
Course not!

I don't use a disk lock, but I've tried to ride off with the chain still on before...

I hate it when that happens..... Oh wait, I don't use a disk lock

Only ever did it once. Giant THUD and I thought I'd done massive damage. Knew immediately what it was, but it merely hit the stanchion and made a loud noise.

I use an old sock stuck over the throttle. Same idea as the bit of string that comes with some locks.

[prawny1]

Watched my dad go 4 times in a row on gravel before he realised why it happened.

I've done it myself too, I was sat waiting to pull out into traffic for at least 5 minutes, So you can imagine how I pulled off when a gap open up Que me almost going over the bars and buckling the disk (cb-1 discs are tough!).

Did it once with the disc lock, after trying to show off to a load of girls outside work. Only thing hurt was my ego, so no sympathy either

All I can say is thank god for mirrored visors

Check you haven't damaged the brake calliper. Look carefully for any cracks in it or its mounting.

It's better to put a padlock through the rear sprocket. Bike just stops and tends not to damage anything if you forget to remove it.

Never done it with a disc lock, but In town we have parking bays for bikes, with railings that provide a bar to chain your back tyre to. First week I passed my test I took the missus in town for a bimble on the GT. Returned many hours later, on the bike we go...

*clunk*

Tried to ride still chained to the railing, just managed to stop us falling (and the GT wasn't light!)


Noobs, eh? Pah!

When I done it.. I had just bought my bike, went to meet and old friend in a brand new car with 300 miles on... said goodbye in a friendly manner - (like that) and no sooner i was off my bike and had scratched his bumper

Luckily we had known each other for years and he said I didnt owe him a thing..... and I havent heard from him since
