Went out for a pleasant ride on Sunday with a couple of mate's first time out in new one piece leathers so I but everything I would normally have in my jacket pockets under the rear seat cowl including my house keys.
Everything was going well till mw stopped for a coffee at loomies in the afternoon about 14:30. and I noticed my keys were missing, they had jumped over the electrics and gone down into the battery box (luckily not shorting the battery)
Now here's the problem if I ride home to get at my torx 25 to take the seat off, it's in garage and my keys are somewhere in the bike and its beginning to rain.
So I had to ride to one of my mates house 30 mins in the wrong direction to get the seat off.
The time is now 15:30 it raining hard and I have to ride home from Southampton to Basingstoke in the heavy rain in the dark and to make things worse I had a black visor on my helmet.
I not quite sure how I got home I think I must have used the force to find my way, used the back roads to keeps out of the spary of the motorway got home about 16:20 pitch black raining hard and my visor is somewhat Illegal even in daylight.
Moral of the story is don’t put keys under seat cowl (doughnut that I am :-[ ) and don't ride with a dark visor without taking a clear one as well on because you never know what might happen to delay you getting home. :
to top it all off the bike is filthy so are my new leathers there going to be lots of cleaning to do. :'(
