Harley Davidson motorcycle key found

**Mystic13** · 30th December 2010, 13:01

Has the tube type key and the electronic Fob. Found Gt South Road Greenlane. Guess it fell out of a pocket while riding. I rang AMPS and apparently you can leave this thing in your pocket and still start the bike and ride. Really cool feature until you lose the key. If you own this or know who does give me a yell on 021 538 029.

Cheers

If I've posted this in the wrong section can someone re-post it. I'm not at the puter. Just came home to pop this up and back to work.

Technology in a Harley? What the the fuck is this world coming to?

What do you mean?...mine's even got lights (sometimes)

Good on you Mystic13 for taking the time to find the owner - hope they're suitably grateful.

I would think it would be better to hand it in to the police?

It had tassles attached to the key?

It may even be coded for a specific motorcycle.

The local Harley dealer may find the correct owner (just a guess) ...

Yep, spoke to AMPS and the number on the key info doesn't help them locate the owner. They already have two other unclaimed sets sitting there.

Called the police and let them know I have it. Will drop them off in the next day or two. Given they are shut for a few days I thought it best to hold them till they open again.

I just hope the rider didn't head off down country and got to some far of gas station before discovering the problem.

i'm interested to see how long it takes to find the owner.
i.e. how wide rangeing this forum is.

It's only for Aucklanders and a few nancy-boy passport holders from south of the Bombays.

And 1 person from Japan.

I would say rather than falling out of the riders pocket, they've ridden off on the bike with it still in the ignition switch (Softail, some Dyna's, VRSCDX's etc) and it's flown out. If it's '07' onwards, the bike won't go without the fob being near the bike, although hopefully the owner will have his/her spare handy!

Good on you for keeping it, and piping up about it!

Flown out ? Jeez, what speeds are these Harley things capable of ?

Warp Factor 5+.

But they wear the 'Cloak of Slowness' to give the appearance of sedate progress.

Less hassle from 'the law' and gives other riders something to gloat about.
