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.

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.

Mr Lefty · 04-27-2008, 04:24 PM

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.

Mr Lefty · 04-28-2008, 07:54 PM

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.
