Lots of swearing and name calling as I remove the gauntlet, get the key, put the gauntlet back on and ride away.

I have, unfortunately, duplicated this several times. I've also skipped the step of putting my helmet on and fastening it and gone right to getting my gloves on and fastened... only to go "Shit" and have to take the gloves back off. Always in front of people, of course.
