Posted October 3, 200915 yr What am I like? I always put a disc lock on the bike whenever and wherever I park it, complete with a bright yellow reminder attached to the throttle grip to remind me it's on there I came out of work Friday 2nd Oct half asleep, started it up,revved up and went. Went about 9 inches and the bike totally collapsed under me.Luckily no damage to me or the bike, What a plonker!

October 5, 200915 yr Moderator I have been there too with a GSXR in Pepsi Suzuki colours Lucky (sic) I was splattered from behind whilst stationary a couple of weeks later so got a new respray all over.
October 5, 200915 yr There's another variant from Australia, which locks around your throttle. Good luck forgetting that one!!
