mike1949 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1949 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 .you didnt expect sympathy i hope. No, definitely not. In fact the heading says it all. The only damage to the bike is a piece missing out of the bottom of the indicator lens and brake lever bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 There's another variant from Australia, which locks around your throttle. Good luck forgetting that one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
