I always stick mine on the rear disc for that very reason, then all that  happens if you do forget is a clunk as it hits the rear caliper (first gen model anyway)

Never damaged a bike doing it, but yeah I've done it before!  Ever since I had the 10 though I use the handle bar chord and it has helped to prevent it a couple of times so worth its weight in gold  :icon_thumleft:

Never had a problem with disc locks, always keep it in a drawer, out of the way where it can't do any damage [rofl]

I've done while pulling away, then an abrupt stop followed by an ungainly fall to the right  :lol: That was on a Honda VF1000FE, bloody heavy thing.
