Hey George,

I'll just bring something to you attention that you may have forgotten about loosing keys :P I recall the year before last pulling up at Orange and I told you your left blinker was still on, well that revealed your keys were missing from the ignition when you went to turn it off, but a stroke of good fortune had them caught up in the cabling among the triple clamp, now that was luck ;)

Stop loosing your bloody keys. ;D

Well Brett I caught up. On my way to Albury on my CBX the bloody keys disappeared from the keyhole. Didn't discover it until I stopped for a rest. Arrived in Wagga with a locked fuel cap so I had to stuff the lock to keep going. My panniers were also permanently locked on the bike.

Good news is I bought a new old stock petrol cap from the States for about $70 and when I got home my locksmith mate picked the pannier mount locks and rekeyed the whole bike to the standard ignition. Something I didn't have before because the panniers were off a different bike.

Old bikes.....such fun.  ;D ;D
