[Cow]

Hi,

 

Actually i have a good way to let you remember your bike key and it should work.

 

1) Get a small coin pouch with key holder, attach your house keys and

bike key together.

 

2) Always put the keys in your front pocket.

 

3) Soon you will get uneasy if you get off your bike, the key pouch with coins

and keys are heavy in your pocket.

 

4) You will definitely remember to look for it on your bike as you will get super

uneasy without something heavy in your front pocket.

 

This works for me.

There's once i was so tired after work that i just went home after work, parked my bike, bath and slept ..... leaving my keys on the bike for more than 12 hours ... :giddy: ....

 

The lucky thing is the next thing when i was about to go out, i suddenly remembered and rushed to my bike parked at the parking lot with my keys still in the ingnition switch ...

 

That was some luck ...

[calyban]

u are not alone wif this.

left my keys overnight a few times liao, bike was parked at cp at my block.

even got once i realised it liao but too lazy to go down immediately to retrieve it, finally went after ard 2 hrs, hehe..

guess its the position of the bike lots here lah, sandwiched between two 12-storey blocks, exposed to every unit's surveillance: even i myself got pressure of being under observation whenever i at the bike lots.

 

luckily managed to train myself not to forget (using a mental pre-ride/post-ride checklist), oso nowadays i always cover my bike whenever parking so no fear liao...

 

shld try to have a habit of doing checks before and after riding, almost like the safety checks during riding, even a simple glance wld be sufficient.

hmm, but i have more problems wif losing cash cards than keys...

[Cow]

i think best if to do some "glancing" safety checks before and after riding. eg tyres, fuel line n stuff. good habits nv dies. hehe

 

anyway i was wondering this, i parked my bike and left my keys there. i believed the rider that parked beside me shld see but i was surprised tat the keys are left intact? so for those guys who forgot the keys, is your bike parked alone or got other bikes around?

[WingZer0]

think I did this to every single bike that I owned before big bikes no so worriedly but I did this to my RXZ for 3 times already.....lucky never kena joyride by some kid....

Ever forgot once in CP at parkway before, left my keys hanging on my box. Some kind soul help me to lock up my box (got a new FF helmet in it), pass it to the parking attendent there and left me a note. up for him. I learnt from him and pay this kind act forward whenever i saw keys on unattended bike.

[Cow]

it all depends on luck

 

thanks for the poll guys

 

feel free to add more though

[DGray]

For me, i let my keys on the handle for 16 hours straight. Lucky bike still in piece.

[Niti]

I got a small carabina hooked at the belt's loop of my pants. Everytime i park my bike, i always remove the keys and attached it to the carabina. Works for me..

[bigman_185]

Can remember how many times already?

[UndeadArcher]

HmmM.. anyone kenna joy-ride b4?

[hohosaint]

Countless time... But i was luckily to either passed by gentlemen or left untouched... Nowadays, such thing wouldnt happen as in. I will purposely leave a important 'thing' hanged together with the keys to remind me.

[rex]

i had a bad experience recently...

went to JB for petrol and makan...since i had time to spare me and my fren decided to wash bike...so we left our bike at the shop and left to go makan. later at the makan place i cannot find my keys...

we quickly run back to the shop.

from a distance i couldn't see my bike but can see my fren's R1....my heart almost drop out..i ran to the mechanic and ask him,

he said, they took the bike to the back for polishing....i went to find

fortunately, they were really polishing it and not take it for joyride. they return my keys and joked abt it...

 

damn lucky man...

[VerTix]

I ever left my key at my seat lock dangling down there for few hours. When i prepared to go out later dat day den found out my key was nowhere to be seen.. I thot i lost it so i took my spare key down. luckily there was one kind soul helped me to retrieve my key n slot at the space in between the handle bar.. lucky sia..

Lesson learnt. Must rmb to take my keys everytime i leave my bike...

[Jayz_sg]

almost happen to me 2day... was walking away from my bike when i checked my pockets to realise my key still at my bike... i rem 1 incident when i saw a super 4 keys dangling at the box... dunno wat to do...so i wait 4 half an hour he still nv come...so no choice i took out the keys and put into ignition then used his cloth to cover the keys nicly... dunno wat happen after that.... happened at tao payoh....

[6zerozero]

I left my keys at the ignition & went home. Next morning then realise. Lucky bike still there. Happened to me twice. Then my friend advice me to put bike's keys together with house keys so that if i left my keys on the bike, I would realise it the moment i wanna open my house door. Seems to work for me after that. But if u r outside & forget yr bike's keys, then liao.. hee hee

I left my bike keys on my bike once at the motorcycle parking lot next to the multistory car park near parkway and went shopping for a few hours before realising that my keys is at my bike. Immedialty i rush back and from far i saw that my keys was lost. Than when i got closer i realised that some kind soul had my keys warpped into a cloth and squeese into my bike sia tao. Luckily he didn't take it for a spin. :cheeky:

[Cow]
