Especially when someone stops to let you across the street and a whole line of cars sees you dragging your busted up bike across the road...
I am always careful to use those split ring lock washers along with locktite myself...It always holds and stays tight for me.
Mine is Waaaay too heavy to carry, but i'm blessed to be in cowboy country, everyone I know owns a pickup truck and is only a phone call away.
I only had to do that once, when my Zeda 80 crapped out on me...And I didn't even have to call, a buddy of mine driving his pickup on that day was only 5 minutes behind me...lol.

When the fender came off my bike no one I knew that had a pickup was close enough for it to be worth the wait. My dad was the closest, but he was 30 minutes out, so I just carried th rear of the bike and let it roll on the front wheel home.
Must be nice to be young and strong...lol.

You mean young and dumb? I hurt my back about a month ago moving a 9000w generator by myself and I'm just now done feeling it.
Enjoy it while it lasts little grasshopper...lol.
Ahhh, Youth is truly just wasted on the young...lol.
