    Yes, you are not alone.

    After always dilligently checking for the lock I got distracted last
    night talking to a mate and took off (only slowly) with the lock on.

    Once fixed, I noticed the speedo wasnt working... that would be due to
    the calbe sliding along on the road next to me. busted the plastic
    connector joining it to the front fork.

    D'oh. think I will get one of those reminder leads that hangs off your
    handlebars.

    :( :( :(

    dude in our club lent his VFR to another mate from o/s for a run to
    Robertson.

    They got to Robertson, he put disk lock on while he went walkies, he
    came back, tried to ride off, result was bent disk, smashed fairing,
    broken handlebar and lever.. and done his knee in as well, couldnt
    ride it home.

    And some people still refuse to believe that motorbikes are dangerous.

    the damage to the wallet was obscene

    You were lucky; I got a broken wrist, grumpy wife, $500 damage and an
    almost ruined GP trip last time I did that!

    It's amazing how much speed you can get up in one full front-wheel
    rotation! Now I always put them up against the fork leg in the direction
    that I'll be moving so I can't get a run-up

    I only ever use a disc lock if I can park the damned thing
    nose-in to a wall, fence, tree, something big enough to
    make it impossible to forget its there. Failing that,
    I padlock the helmet to the disc ... hard to forget that
    way.

    The little reminder cable does the trick. I haven't had any troubles since I
    started using it.

    I got a curly orange reminder cable and a big fuckin'
    red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" flag hanging off mine - use
    the disk lock everywhere, haven't forgotten it at all...

    ...yet.
