LOL Left My Keys In The Ignition For 2 Hours At Busy Parking Lot!

What amazes me is not that someone didn't stole my bike (only 1 in 25 people know how to ride motorcycles), what amazed me was that nobody grabbed my set of keys and just threw them out to a garbage can of something, or twisted it off inside my bike's ignition.

Why don't you try repeating the experiment and see if you can replicate the same results again?
 
If they can get passed a stearing lock. Mine is ALWAYS steering locked even if i'm just running into a store for two seconds. Its just a little more of a turn of the key so why not?

two fit guys can lift the bike up and put it in a van. steering lock just makes it inconvenient to roll around.
 
Living in Korea, I've left the keys in my bike overnight a couple of times. I generally leave them in the ignition if I pop in to a shop and pick up supplies as well.

Also, I leave my helmet on the back of the bike for days at a time and nothing has ever happened.

I've got to break these habits before I get back to Canada.

Those Koreans must be very honest!

I've left my keys in the ignition overnight in a GreenP lot once. I was surprised the bike was still there in the morning. There was a guy unloading his truck in the same lot in the morning and came over and told me he was about to take the keys and leave a note so someone else didn't steal the bike. Said he was a rider. Seemed nice.

there are good people out there...

I think everyone has done something similar to this at one point, its almost like if its too easy they dont bother. Give 'em a challenge damn it!
 
So I went to a lunch meeting with some family members and decided to take my bike because I was going to split for some riding right after, I got off my bike and we had a long lunch at a popular restaurant and long talk. When I came back I was shocked and horrified to see that I left my keys in the ignition, I just pushed the red "off" button and jumped off.

Anyone snooping around here who might have read this... http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?58560-Bike-Mechanics-101-With-Pegassus-(For-Noobs)

... would think twice about the potential ride. hahahaha. ;-)
 
When I got in last night from the cottage, I left the ignition as the fan was running... Then went to sleep. As soon as I woke up, it hit me... Sucks to have to take the cafe to work on a gorgeous day like today :(

I have left the key in my ignition a few times in my driveway. I really need to get a spare in case I really lose it.
