General topics » Frustrating day!

For the first time in ages, the rain has ceased and the skies are bright & blue (still bloody windy though).

Got the bike out and all my gear on. Went to put the sat nav in the cradle (for music, not a route) and its then that I realize I cant find the key anywhere

In a gap in the pissy weather yesterday, I changed the battery and started the bike to check all was well and that's the last time I saw it. I nipped out in the car afterwards to a couple of places wearing the same hoodie with pockets - but I've retraced my visits and enquired if a key had been handed in, to no avail. Of course I've checked all the usual places with no luck.

I still have the spare but I'm bound to lose that now

I wonder how many £££££'s a new keyless main set up for my bike will costs from the main dealer? OUCH!

**EDIT** FOUND IT

I must've left the key on the seat and it somehow fell off and manage to hide it self under a shelf in the garage.

Think I need a lie down now

This post is an emotional roller coaster!

Don't feel bad, I've looked for my glasses before...while wearing them!

Whenever I was looking for the lost key to my RS I would always find it stuck in the seat lock. If not there, I was going to try my sock drawer.

Old age is a cruel mistress.

I once left the key in the seat lock in a car park in Halifax. Luckily the key and bike were still there when I returned. (This was when I owned an XR which has the seat lock more discreetly placed at the rear, and was partially hidden by a top box)

Happens. I left my fob attached to the Givi key, dangling in the top box from Andorra for over a hundred miles before a kind Frenchmen beeped me outside of Carcasonne to let me know
Happened so many times I got a retractable fob carabinered to my jacket.

Glad you found your key OK.
Coincidentally, I was our 2 days ago when a big black pick up truck came up behind me, lights blazing. He's in a hurry. So I over took the car I was following and he followed. So I thought, come on matey, off you go. He then passed me and then pulled over. So I pulled up beside him and was about to say"What the f#ck are you playing at"🤔 when he handed over my bunch of keys that I had left in my Top Box and had fallen out. Very lucky he had spotted them as my house and garage key were also there. 😲
