Arrrgh ! i'm stupid and it cost me money

So, bikes in the garage, filters fitted. I think i'll put the bike back on the abba stand, But i need to move the bike to the side so the kids can still get their bikes in.

This is where it happens. I move the bike back quite fast and hear crunch. Its the bloody disklock against the front mudguard. which know has a lovely 6 inch crack in it.

i don't want an aftermarket carbon one or anything so i phone George Whites. £106 quid !!! luckily chap on the phone recognises my voice and it's now £95 quid.

while on the suzuki website i see a nice blue rear hugger, am wondering about that, not too sure how it would look as a swap for the black one.

moral of the story, patience is a virtue

damn expensive stuff up and on the hugger black look's the best in my opinion it'll be a bit of a blue overload with a blue hugger too imho.

Expensive lesson!

£106 pounds is extortionate, £95s too steep too in my opinion for a mudguard. Have you consulted ebay yet?

We've all done it though, I've forgot about a disklock before but was lucky that I didn't cause any damage.

alarmed disc lock is what you need...when you move the bike, it'll go off!

Bloody expensive reminder though.

I got one of those stretchy cord things which is attached to the disc lock with the other end hooked round one of the hand grips. Cheaper option than getting an alarmed one.
