Riders who forget disk locks are dumb arses

[avgas]

I always put the disc lock closest to the fork in the direction of travel, 20degrees wheel rotation until lock is a lot slower than 300 degrees!

Wouldn't help me too much. I generally launch in first gear. So would only engage when the front makes good contact.

Not as dumb as my mate who put his bike in the shed,backed his boat in and chained them together. 6 a.m Saturday morning,half asleep and running late for the tide,guess what happened?

How far did he drag the bike? I hope not all the way to the launching ramp.

Only a couple of metres, a cb1300 makes a bit of noise going down!

Might as well have left it tied on. Would have made a betted anchor that bike by the time he worked out what he'd done.

Done it a couple of times just wheeling my bike from the garage.
Pretty annoying, because you bloody put it there ha ha. Poor forks.

Also, yesterday, I stopped to help a (distressed and almost crying) cute chick on her scuddle, being pushed up the road.
What was wrong? She somehow hit the kill switch and didn't even know what it was for.

Hero! Did she give you a cuddle?

Back in the day (before reminder cords) I got caught out. I'd gone to a mates house so put it on but what disrupted my memory was I knocked & he was out when he should have been in, so went back & just jumped back on without thinking about it. Broke the calliper.

The lock was pretty munty & was unlikely to break or get broken. The lock mechanism was pretty robust, but an earlier design with the barrel type keys which were more secure than a key. . . . until I saw the internet vid of how to make a key from an old biro.

I bought a bike & it had one on the frame but no key. Sure enough, found a biro & unlocked it inside a min.

Hell... Mines pretty old. Must try that..... Hmmmmm (Not that anybody would even look at my bike these days).

So you were only able to get a wee bit of crumpet then?

EDIT: that's not as funny or clever as it sounded in my head. Ah well. Never mind.

Don't like disk locks, I use a chain and padlock... I leave the chained padlock up on the tank so I see it when I get on and don't forget to unlock it, right? ...wrong. Late evening, not thinking, get on see lock do not register it and ride off... didn't get very far
