[mowgoli84]

cant find my only key for my buell! AHHHHHH!

 

[WALLSXB]

Did you check under the couch cushion? If you have little kids , check your shoes !

 

[mowgoli84]

oh man! i think i might know where it is.. maybe.. but i have to drive all the way out to where i store it to see... in the seat lock... i hope.
wish me luck!

 

[WALLSXB]

I not gonna say i've done that a few times ! Good luck ![up]

And when you find it, go to the local locksmith and have some extras made. I think it only cost me $5 each.

Good luck. Also, check at the foot of the bed, between the mattress and footboard. My daughter "hide" my keys there once.

Good Luck! +1 on having a spare key - keep mine in the gunsafe. Here's a handy little device: The FOFA

I always leave my key in the seat lock unintentionally. I leave my bike in my basement so I always just leave the key in the ignition anyway, so it's pretty hard to lose.

Worst case, i had to go to Harley with my VIN# and proof of ownership and they sent me a new set of keys.

Looking in the shoes is funny stuff...I have 2 kids and that is where I found mine when I lost it.

 

[mowgoli84]

So, i found my key in the seat lock, went on a nice, but cold ride and before coming home stopped at a local grocery store, parked the bike and went in. I was in the check out line about to swipe my card when I look out the window to see an old man standing, touching my bike, and I was like.. huh. I went out, turns out some old lady backed into it, pushed it off the stand but while all this was happening, an old man jumped outta his car and saved it from hitting the ground!

He then explained to me that he was 74 years old, and told me "i havent moved that fast since '67" I was so thankful for that guy, I took his name and number and told him Id plow his driveway on my rounds this winter.

 

[WALLSXB]

At least you didn't lose it ! I'd swing by and make a spare or two just in case.[up] That's a good man to save the Buell , it's nice to know that some people still give a crap , no matter how old they are.

 

[dave_xb12r]

Wow! That's one heck of a story! [up]

 

[brightbuell]

I agree, what a story. Maybe he was Santa?

 

[xxspudxx]

Amazing!

 

[mowgoli84]

im gonna get a few extra made for sure. Perhaps it was santa.. i heard he shops at comet food mart a lot!

 

[Loki]

hmmm Santa

 

[08levin]

Every time i put the saddle bags on, I end up leaving the key in the seat lock, and once the bags are on, you can't get to the key!! I usually look for it for an hour before realizing where it is. doh!

 

[sk8ace]

Glad you found it! That story made me smile

Also reminds me that I need to get a few keys made.. I only got one with my bike and I am paranoid about loosing it. I would have to go to somewhere other than Lowe's right? I don't think I would want to deal with Harley..

 

[JohnnyD]

I would have to go to somewhere other than Lowe's right?

Right. I tried there first too. Most of those stores can only make house and car keys. Had to goto a locksmith to make mine... Around $5 each.
