Default disc lock, guess the rest

note to self, remove before hand, took my speedo drive out.

more redfaced, foolish and gutted than having to buy a new unit.

fleabay is £43 used and new is £69, no brainer really, new one ordered.

i suppose having an old mans cruiser now shows my memory is going.

just kicking myself now.

A former colleague chained his scooter to a parking meter. Ended up trashing the scooter and Westminster council billed him for repairing the parking meter. Double fail but he was an utter kn0b so I had no sympathy.
