Full of Titanium go-fast bits!
I'm such a dick!
Came off today.. jeans and teeshirt...
forgot the bloody disc lock! got about 6cm and then front wheel locked and down she went
First time I've used the disc lock in ages, which is most likely why I forgot it.
Broke the orange plastic on the front of my indicator, but thats it. I think I bit of superglue will be all it needs.
But god damn, I'm an idiot.

I always do it, but never at speed.

Coz you weren't wearing something that may give you a little more protection or coz you broke your bike?
Better to have a dick than to be one...
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
on the wagon
oh dear!
maybe a bright cord from the disk lock to the throttle or key fathom would be the go to make sure it doesn't happen again

Yeah, thats the go. I've seen them, my lock didn't have one but I will be making my own.

The title of your thread took the words right out of my mouth! lol
Been there, done it myself... no wonder my name is Richard!
As they say, Dick by name....
Glad you're OK.

Yep, Ive done it as well. At a busy gas station with a huge bunch of school kids waiting for a bus right there!

Ah well, least it's a little mistake! Only costs your pride and dignity (I lost mine a long time ago so I can act the way I do!
)
Every time I put a disc lock or cable on my bike, I always thread my reminder religiously to my brake lever. The one day I don't will be the day I do what you did so well!
I know it takes a little bit of time, but it's always well spent. I get paranoid when I ride into the city. Always lock it up and thus... the cable reminder so I won't do what you did when I know I could do it too!
Least you didn't try to pop a wheelie and ride away into the sunset! And ... no gear!!? What the?

What you didn't see was McJim pushing you into the hedge and then offering his hand to you (if he was crueler, he'd take your hand, let go, just to watch you fall back down again!)
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Yep buy yourself one of those bright yellow curly cords that go from the disc lock up to the lever...... then you will always remember that you have that darned disc lock on. They are about $9 from most bike shops.

Hey shit happens and at least it was a lesson learned at low speed.
I'm sure you'll be wearing GEAR and making a wee physical reminder to yourself on the bike that the locks on!
PS Don't listen to GIJOE, my McJim wouldn't push a fella over or make them fall off. That's like pulling wings off bugs kinda material which my hubby is most certainly not.

I've done this as well. Was wearing gear though. There were 20,0000 people watching. How embarassing. Lost a fair bit of petrol. Luckily, that was all I lost.
Whip it, whip it good!
Rest assured you are not the only one to have taken the "shit the disck lock tumble" Funny to watch though!.........sorry

Yep, she's right. McJim is honest as the rain pours in Scotland. He's a bonnie prince of a man and his scottish accent just breaks me up in stitches inside (what is it with Scotsman in my life? I get rid of one just to have another step up and take his place!)
I can't help but snigger when McJim wears his red gear and I'm reminded of Star Trek with Scotty!
And... how come no gear!!?
