+1 there is already a thread about this and might even had some pics. Hope it's just a reminder not to do it and not because it just happened.

I just cleaned and lubed my chain this morning too. Getting the bike ready for the big West Coast trip with Lone and Krid.

Crap!!!!!!!!!

The only time I've done this I had the bike in neutral (you got to love the center stand) and I was using one hand to spray the lube and the other one to move the tire.

I'm fine. I always make sure my keys are in my pocket when lubing the chain, but thought about this while lubing my chain this morning. With the new season and new owners, I thought I'd put up a public service announcement.
