    HD did, and like many thieves they left it burnt out down a back road.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Thumbs up

    ellipse takes the cake!
    Way back in the day (early 80's) I parked the ol 400 XS Special outside the Gables at about 3.30pm. Put steering lock on, wrapped unbreakable, uncuttable cable around rear wheel and over seat. Put gear away and carried helmet and jacket into pub.
    Came out at about 11.30 pm with the nice pub glass in me helmet to take it home.
    Got to bike digging in pocket for keys. NOT THERE! OMG.
    Panic, don't panic Mr Mannering!
    Put helmet on seat of bike to have proper dig in trouser pocket, only to hear a distinct metallic clunk.
    Glass had dropped from within the helmet and landed on keys still sitting on the seat right beside the bloody locked cable.
    no one but me knew about this until today.
    Had forgotten about it, well, Na not really, do we ever?
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    No, be honest would ya? You were disappointed nobody wanted to steal your ride...

    We've all done questionable things at times...mine being filling my dirt bikes' tank with diesel many moons ago. But yeah, truck driver, diesel car and not been on the bike for ages...lucky the fuel tap on the XT had this convenient hose below it to drain the fuel

    My turn Parked up in the ferry boarding lanes and killed the bike by putting the stand down with it in gear. Brain in nutral forgot to turn off the key didn't I. Bit later here's Mrs Berg and a mate push starting me down the vehicle lanes as the battery is now part flat and won't turn the bike over. Oh the shame
    If you are what you eat, then I'm fast, cheap and easy
    I have a gas axe and a welder! What do you mean "it won't fit"?
