Who here has forgot to remove the key when parked?

lauralynne · 04-15-2008, 08:30 PM

only a couple times in the lock but I can't begin to count the number of times I've left it in the trunk! I use the key to get under the seat and turn off the comm system and take my MP3 player out - and then push the seat down to lock it and forget the key. I've had to run out in the middle of the night to get it at a hotel before.

The seat lock always gets me.. sometimes I'll be frantically looking around because I want to go for a ride.. I run all around the house and I go.. wait a sec.. Then I kick myself for bein a tard..

I always leave the key in it in the garage and work, but other then that I always grab it.

shit I leave my key in the bike all the time, and I am the one always running out to grab it, either from my trunk or the ignition, after ive done the frantic pocket search...

My husband is SOOOOO bad at that!

Not only has he left the keys in his bike while it was parked overnight at a track day while on the trailer...BUT...he left them in the bike on Cannery Row in Monterey during MotoGP weekend WITH both helmets on the bike!

And in case you are unaware of what that looks like...

He is VERY luck his bike was still there!

I do in the garage all of the time. I have left it in a couple times runnin into the gas station, but not too much. Once I was still wearing my gloves and tried to put it in my pocket as I was going into the station. The frantic search followed and while i was on my way in some guy walked out to toss them to me.

NTS. I almost did that the other day on my F3. Close call there.

Mrs. Collen. If your husband's bike is that yellow flamed one with something on the side then you need to go ahead and stick those keys back in there with a signed title.
