Default that embarrassing moment when...

You forget you have a disc lock on and move forwards 10 cm then lay it down on its side...

Got lucky, broken indicator lense, scratched bar end, exhaust and tiny bit on fairing.

Oh n it landed on my still healing fractured leg which made 200 miles home quite painful lol.

Nope, never done that. On someone else's bike. In front of them, and most of our mutual friends...

This is the reason why I will never use a disc lock, the chance of the bike being stolen without a disc lock? Probably about 1%

The chance of at some point me forgetting and dropping the bike 100%
