I did something similar. My fender hasn't cracked through, but the best part was I did it in my own garage moving the bike around.
DOH!
its a good thing i didnt just get on and take off...this was done by rolling the bike (engine off) to a different location...or at least attempting to...
Just ordered the Duacti Performance CF Front Fender - Part # 96948800B for ($298 Total including shipping and CA Sales Tax)...I think i got a good deal.

Ummm... I did that once too.
Stalled and almost fell over.
Lesson learned.
No damage, I think.
This is the only reason I don't have one of those. I KNOW I would try to drive off with it still attached.
Did that years ago on a bran new R1. I haven't used a disc lock since.
I can never remember to pick up my kick stand plate, much less take off a disc lock, which is why I don't own one.

Yeah, I'm that dumb. Consequently, in the rare occasions when I use a disc lock, I attach it to one of these with a blank key on one end placed in my ignition. I can't start the bike without at least thinking of the lock.

Tried to ride off once with the disc lock on the Disc, thankfully nothing damaged and didn't drop the bike, so now I have a new system.
If I park the bike so I have to back out, I put the Lock on the disc close to the Fender arm, so worst case the bike will only move an inch before the lock hit's the Fender arm, conversely if I have ride forward to get out of the parking space I place the disc lock a few MM under the Brake caliper, again I will only move the bike an inch and it will stop.
Worst case you will still have your feet down and can hold the bike up.
mind you I have never had a problem checking for my lock being on ever again, I check every time before moving off.

Years ago I rode off with my forks locked.
Last time I tried that. ;)

how'd you start the bike if they were locked?

Some bikes used to have the fork lock in a different spot than the ignition.

Nothing new for me, I've been riding around in circles for year. ;D

Old BMW's and Moto Guzzis (maybe more) had a separate key/lock on the side of the steering stem not related to the ign. switch. Done it more than once.
ah..
muchas gracias

ding ding ding... ;D
Back in the day...
they all had a separate lock for the forks.
I can't be bothered to use a disc lock anymore, but when I did, I'd always hook the pouch that it came in over the throttle as a reminder.
lol. with my old ninja, the beginning of every season was marked with my trying to ride off with the disc lock on. I always made it a foot before it tipped over!

Bike lock in the garage? Kinda excessive don't you think? ???
I leave the key in the bike when it's in the garage sometimes. :D

I figure it can't hurt. Well, unless you count cracking fenders. [laugh]
Dang, I'm surprised you guys managed to forget it and didn't get some bad damage. If you do use a wheel lock, put it just behind your brake calipers so that it doesn't have a chance to go full revolution before it catches. I took off with it on once and it broke my caliper mounts. I rode 3 miles with the caliper gouging my wheel before I realized it. :-X

would you mind posting your garage code? [cheeky]
Moving my bike around in the garage with disk lock few years ago led to a warped rotors in time. Front braking would just shake the bike. Ended up replacing the rotors with alth rotors. Expensive mistake [bang]

No code, but go ahead and steel it. I can care less. That's what full coverage is for. :P
