Gringo 4,999 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Good shout re taking a photo I had a lucky escape a couple of years ago. Had a day trip to Weston Super Mare with a mate. Got there about 1100. On returning to the bikes at around 1900 I checked all my pockets for my keys and couldn't find them. I was about to call a mate and/or rescue company when I noticed them hanging in the key hole of my top box. They'd been in there all that time. Link to post
MatBin 5,042 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I have a U lock, key for that is on my house key ring, key for bike separate ring, so if I have locked my bike U lock and then left bike key on the bike it's"safe". @davebike it's called old age my son bought me an accessory for my key ring, if you whistle it sets off it's alarm and makes finding the keyring easier. Never used it though. Edited September 8, 2020 by MatBin 1 Link to post
