I've aleady posted that I don't think I've ever done this BUT I have cracked a front hugger forgetting that the disc brake lock was still on. :panic:

I used to at home all the time but now my son can start the bike so I always take it out when i park.

were was that key again nTs? and that was too funny great way to start the trip

oh it was at the start of the trip? fuck... I'd have been furrious! something ALWAYS goes wrong at the start of every fucking trip I take... with in the last 24hrs of my trip starting. ALWAYS... and every time I'm like.. not this time... so when it does.. I get royally fucking pissed. then laugh about it 2 days later when I'm on the road.

Park, turn bike off with key, remove gloves, through gloves over key, leave key. Yep. Done it several times but always with a bunch of bikes at events, gas stations, etc. When alone I'm much better about bringing it with me. I guess I don't use the trunk much because I've never left it there... yet.

trunk on the buell is utterly worthless, so i doubt ill be using it.

really? figured it'd be halfway decent with no underseat exhaust..

battery is halfway in the tail section. that and the tool kit leave enough room for a pair of short cuff gloves and a neck gator.

damn... that sucks... then again... I don't keep anything but my tool kit, registration, and my camera (when I don't have my tank bag) but when I do the HID... that's where my "if all else fails" spot is for the balast

I got lots of room for balast up front if I decide to do it.
I used to carry my jacket liner and a cargo net in the trunk... no more.
