Agree - and most of them can be hacked through/cracked in seconds - so they're pretty pointless. You have to make sure they're flush to the fork leg to avoid getting any speed up like this guy did.

I forgot about one on a VMAX pulling off outside a pub. Obviously, not the lightest bike to drop, but worse than that I toppled against a pillar with the bike half on its side pinning my leg to it and the other at 45 degrees skyward. I was stuck there for five minutes during which time seven or eight people walked into the bar entrance and didn't even bat an eyelid. I was eventually rescued by a passing Vicar - no joke. Without that act of God, I'd probably have been there until closing time.

sorry shouldn't laugh mate, but the mental pictures that conjurers up would make a good motivation pic
