I was moving a couple of the bikes and stuff around in the garage. I decided to listen to a CD in the Street Glide while I was working. So I put my key fob on the front brake lever. Pushed it up the handle to the very top.

Decided to go for a ride when I was all done. Off I go. Just as I hit 60 MPH I see something moving out of the corner of my eye. Ah @#$@, there goes the fob sliding off the handle. As I reach to grab it I hit the kill switch..., the bike shutsdown in traffic. I immediately flip it back on, but no joy, I coast to the side of the road. I walk back up a ways and there lies the fob in a traffic lane. I get to eyeball it for two seconds before a semi runs over it.

Ever see a keyfob explode??? I did find all of the parts. Thankfully I do have my security code memorized. That would have been the final insult to not be able to start the bike.

I get home and inspect the stuff I picked up. The outer case looks like it was in a rock tumbler. The circuit board had some minor scratches, hmmm. Put in back together with a new battery. Damn it still works!

I had to snicker, sometimes you just have the damnest stuff happen, usually your own fault.

 

see, now you can make lemonade out of lemons. you get to be the only one with a custom key fob case you could even colormatch it

 

they say you should laugh every day . not sure they meant at yourself , but whatever works for you

and hey , at least you didn't drop the bike !

 

I admire a person who can take a bad moment and see the humor in it.

 

then they say these new Harley are not built to last..... this keyfob is semi-proof!!

 

So, you can lob your fob into a mob, turn it into a gob, and still not sob?
Nice job, Bob.

 

That was God saving you from a horribly disfiguring accident up the road.

That's how I look at those things anyway.

 

With a face like mine, most definately there Porkchop.

 

Great story and ending, I always put my fob on the brake lever . Guess i better find a better place, clutch maybe! lol.

 

I'm thinking of disabling my security system. No where I go needs it and one day it won't work and I have no idea what my code is or how to use it. Hold left/right blinker at the same time, spin around in a circle, touch your nose, something like that.
