Default stupidity....

Ok, so I've had a rattle on my bike's right side for the past day or so. Sounded like the bag lid or latch was loose and vibrating...and bugging the crap out of me. I've been looking and listening for the source all day, had my wife come and listen, my son came a listened...all agreed it was something with the right bag. So I pull the bag off, did find a loose nut on the lock/latch and tightened that, but it did not stop the rattle. Now I'm like, crap, what the hell is it??? I did not have much in my bag at the time...a cd case and a pair of glove liners. Picked up the glove lines and lo, what did I see?? About 12 loose hex wrenches that fell out of the little plastic storage bag I keep them in. Stupid a$$$, I didn't even think of that!! K.I.S.S.!!!

Just be happy that's all it was.&nbsp\\; Those are the good times.&nbsp\\; Brace yourself because at some point, like all of us, sometime really stupid will happen, and then you will be PIZZED![:@]&nbsp\\; Like maybe dropping that glove full of wrenches, or having them fall out on your tank or fender[:'(]&nbsp\\; Be careful.&nbsp\\; CCRyder

Why did you wait so long to join our club?

I buried a couple LEDs under the horn bell onaconna I want a little glow, but not be able to "see" the lights. I get home from a ride,,and have a rattle that sounds like marbles in the pan. After about messing my pants, ( this is my first harley), I realize my little lights are rattling around in the horn bell.
