Yes, it's me! I was sitting in the district council customer retention area and this guy comes up and says," are you riding the Buell?" Then he gives me the key. I had at least taken it out of the ignition! But leaving it on the seat is not really much better!

Yes, but, look how much faith you have in humanity today!!

**Laava** · 19th October 2012, 15:38

Yep, and it turns out it was a guy i know from way back. He reckons he was tempted to take it for a spin!

Do people steal Buells ... ???

Did you put it in your Helmet then put helmet on seat p'haps?

At least there's still the odd good cunt out there.

I must confess a little while ago I left my Triumph Tiger with its keys in the ignition parked on The Terrace all day. About 10 hours. Keys and bike were there at the end of the day, luckily for me!

Keys what are they? I ride an antiquated thing called a Harley and don't need keys. Proximity to alarm fob makes it go (if you can call it that) or not

what a bugger when you work on it in the garage, then jump on for a test ride, stop 20kms away then go to start it though only to realise that the fob is still on the bench

I'll have you know insurance fraud is looked upon poorly here.

Isnt there a cell phone app that negates the fob on any new Harley? Be it yours or not?
