Bollocks! Another bunch of damage to fix!

[NSR125-Kid-UK]

Grr, Setting off from work, I rolled the bike backwards only to meet some resistance. Like a c*nt, I thought i'd just rolled over a painted line or a pothole or something, and tried again. When I met some resistance the second time, I looked down to see the day-glo green disc lock reminder cable waving about on the floor with my disc lock still around my rear (force of habit - at home I wrap the chain around the front and put the disc lock on the rear) disc.
I lob the bike onto its stand, and take the disc lock off, to discover that the chain tensioning bolt is now bent at 45 degrees towards the grount , so I've now got to fit another one .

Still, as the nice woman on the bandit next to me said, we all have disc lock moments. I normally stretch the cable across the seat of the bike and lock it onto the other side, but in this case it must have fallen off.

I went and got the replacement parts priced - £23 for the pair of adjuster bolt clamp thingies, plus the costs of the nuts .
Easy to fit apparently, only the back wheel has to come off .

Blimin eck, nasty

Allthough they are supposedly rubbish i got a grip lock..

No worse than a disk lock but easyer to fit and no chance of mashing up your bike when you try rideing off with the lock in place!


Nearly did it with a chain on my cg, spokes + big fookin chain would have made a mess

You're lucky you didn't smash the calliper casting.

These days I have mostly been putting a bungee round the brake lever when I fit the disc lock which prevents me moving the bike at all.

Upside of my 1100 is it has a seperate steering lock from the ignition so i am reminded to check for such things.
