You know....my bike keys..... on the keyring with the datatool wotnot and the red rubber sv keyring, i cant find them anywhere :smt089 I've been out for a lovely afternoon thrash around the local 'twisty's', come home, sent a couple of texts, got me bucket and sponge out and cleaned my girlie til she sparkles, tucked her up in the garage for the night with her silver sv buddy, gone to set the alarm and.......NO KEYS!!! Aaaaarrrggggh!!!

I have looked EVERYWHERE (with exception of one place obviously, cos thats where they are :-)) but no joy. Any ideas? If not, then where's the daftest place you've left your keys and how long did it take to find them?

lost mine at work - really pi**ed the caretaker off as I kept him 10 minutes past his finishing time. Anyway I found them in cabinet behind my desk where I put my lid. DOH

Have you checked the underseat compartment keyhole? Or even the ignition?

I've done that, bike outside overnight, key in the ignition. To compound it further, my lid, gloves & jacket were also left on the bike overnight.

Oh, I've done that at least 3 times now. What do I win? :D

As for your keys, the cat's eaten them. You'll find your alarm sets itself whenever the cat has a nap.

You'll be searching though the litter tray for weeks!! Sorry. :lol:

Two ideas, both of which worked for me
1. If you use a tank bag with magnets see if your keys have been picked up on the underside of the bag.
2. Get Treacle to look in your handbag!

Messie, not only are you the Goddess of the AR but you are also a flippin' genious - that's EXACTLY where they were, and i'd even looked at the tank bag half a dozen times!! Remind me at AR10, i owe you a drink :) thankyou xxxx

I have to say DP, i was starting to wonder, but we live in such a sleepy village and 'd hate to think that something like that would happen. Fortunately it was all my own incompetent doing :-)

And Spidey, you were right, that is where the offending tank bag was. Was it your super-spidey vision or arachno-tankbag-lepathy that gave it away?

A bit of both really. And the fact that i'm hanging upside down outside your window and can see then from here :)

You really need to do a bit of tidying up too ;)

the first place I look if I cant find the bike keys is the seat lock and that's normally where I find them, have also left the keys in the ignition for about a week with the bike parked up on the driveway

Wow, that just proves that you truly are a superhero and not just a man in costume as some say... :notworthy: x

i once couldn't find my TV remote control. I looked bloody everywhere too. Decided it was stolen by faires when i wasn't watching so went to bed and watche TV in there.
next day went to make a cup of tea and found the missing remote.....




























In the fridge!

And i lived alone at the time too so i couldnt even blame kids, partner, pets, friends.

Those damn faries tho...they get everywhere.

These are my favourite places!
