are you going to Sturgis?

i don't think so. i tried to get some friends to go but it didn't happen. i don't want to ride out there alone. i could still go but the prospects are getting lower. i did put on almost 300 miles with mrs. bagga on saturday that was kind of interesting. we like to go to milwaukee for pizza once in awhile and the place we like is about 100 miles from out house. i got distracted when i was getting ready to leave home and forgot something. when i got off the bike in milwaukee i locked the ignition switch, bagger harleys don't need a key to turn on the ignition if the ignition isn't locked, but if you lock it, you need the key. i started to look for my keys and i didn't have them.....ah, oh, oh!!!!!!! about 25 years ago EZ rider magazine had a tech tip on storing spare keys on the bike if the need for them ever comes up all you need is a phillips screwdriver to get to them. well to get to the phillips i needed keys to open the saddlebag... but i didn't have keys. the trunk was unlocked and i had a 8" piece of wire coat hanger that i hammered into a custom screwdriver in there that i can use to adjust the idle on the carburetor. i used that to get the phillips screws out of the key hiding spot. those keys were in there at least 25 years all wrapped up in electrical tape. the keys will go back today and i'll hope to never have to use them again.

You mean you didn't trust the people of Milwaukee to not steal your Harley???

That screw must not have been very tight.

2 screws actually and real easy to get at and i lock it where ever i stop. it just happened to be 100 miles from home when i discovered i didn't grab the keys.

You might get in the habit of carrying a multi tool with you. I like the Gerber ones, they always hold up to my abuse more than a Leatherman does.
