I guess most of us have done it at one time or another.
Me, just the once (so far...): 1998, my shiny red Honda VFR750 is just coming up to a year old. First brand new bike I've ever had so it's immaculate as I lick it clean after every ride.
I'd been out on it, came home and popped into the house to get summat, then out on the bike again. As I came out the house there was a bunch of teenage kiddies walking up the road opposite, checking my bike out. I figure I'll give 'em a bit of a show so I stroll over to the bike trying to look cool as, get on, fire it up, clutch in, big handful, lots of revs, drop the clutch ready for a GP-style getaway up the road...... CRUNCH. Why the **** am I lying in the gutter with a large motorcycle on top of me, with hysterical teenage laughter ringing in my ears??????
'Cos I'd forgotten I'd put the disc lock on, that's why. ******* mongtard. Bent clutch and gear levers, immaculate plastics now covered in scratches....
A mate of mine, late 80's, despatching on a Yammie FZ750. Had a drop at Bristol Temple Meads station, drops the package off, comes back out to his bike which is parked up opposite the taxi rank. Jumps on ready for a pose in front of the bored taxi drivers, gives it the beans, CRUNCH..... arse.
