Bike is Honda XR125 for anyone who doesn't read my sig.

Having a generally bad day, feeling tired (only about 4 hours sleep) and I go to my bike in the car park at sixth form to go home. I get on, go to set off as usual and after about 1second I come grinding to a halt. "Fuck" I thought as I realised I forgot to take off my disc lock Mad Thumbs Down . So yeah, my single front disc on my bike is now warped.

Since my dad is on holiday I had no way of getting the bike home other than to ride it so I was going all the way home using only my rear expanding brake and lots of caution. It was making a "knocking sound" all the way home and after getting home I was rolling it around and the brake is putting itself on slightly and then back off as the wheel goes round (without pulling the brake lever). If it's just the disc then that's the best case scenario, knowing my luck it will be the whole f'ing brake Evil or Very Mad .

Great end to a great day Sad .

Edit: any ideas how much it will cost me for a new disc? And which one do I need? I'm guessing it's a certain size and does it have to be Honda specific? Suppose I may as well get it sorted ASAP since it's my only form of transport..

Just the disc? A disc for my cagiva planet is £150ish, you had better check how much your disc costs. Are the mounts on the calliper and everything ok?

Just looking at it the calliper seems to be fine. I don't even know what disc I need at the moment, will have to do some googling for a bit to find out.
