Im a complete prat :(

Got up this morning, shower, brew, bike gear on, unlocked bike chain, helmet on, on bike, off to work....

Made it about 2 foot out of the bike shed when I heard the sound of chains scraping along the floor.
Now the shed aint haunted with chain dragging ghosts so only 1 other explanation.

I've left the chain through the wheel :(

Its now completely jammed and I have had to leave the bike half in the shed and half out on the paddock stand.

Off to work I go in a bad mood and have the pleasure of paying £10 in a taxi :(

At least it is a change to the disc lock clunk WTF, Doh!

So I assume you are going to go all girly and ask him indoors to undo your ham fistedness?

Still you didn't end up in a ball, so there are some good outcomes.

Its a job for Pops when he gets up not that he knows it yet.
The Mother has had to take the morning off work now as can leave the bike shed doors open because there's 2 other bikes in there aswell as mine (that's half in there!)

This is also why i dont chain my bike in anyway. I WILL forget.

Re: Im a complete prat :(

Just had an update - he's managed to free the chain, disk is still straight and break calipers need tightening.

Could have been worse, if I hadn't unlocked it then I would have pulled my Dads gsxr 750 over :s
If that had happened ther title to this thread would be "I am a complete, homeless, prat'

She's a woman. The hair colour is irrelevant.

Tatcom7 - No other bike is my Dads aswell.

My mum and dad both had bikes in their youth and did the classic 'you're
not having a bike they're far too dangerous'

How unfair.

Re: Im a complete prat :(

And that's why I've made the decision NOT to use locks and chains on my bikes (and other people's lol). The risks of me doing damage to the bike out of forgetfullness is far higher than someone nicking said bike, given that such locks and chains won't deter the determined thief!

Re: Im a complete prat :(

I'm confused, how did the chain get jammed? I can imagine how it would stop you going forward, but how come just pushing the bike back again didn't un-jam it?

Re: Im a complete prat :(

Lol - fair point BUT the physics of it don't seem to make sense - would have to be a link of the chain jammed down between the wheel and the swingarm maybe? Or something along those lines?

Ahhhhhhhhh - That convo. Thanks Rob.

No luck with that. I reconsidered my proposal of my body for sale. Turns out I'd rather just play the xbox than work, regardless what it's doing!

The chain got jammed between the wheel and the disk.

Like how this thread has turned into "Reeder-bashing". Sorry Reeder ;)
