Left my keys in the bike 8O

[TheDonUK]

Went over to a poker game in waterloo earlier, parked the bike up on the pavement against the wall, put the disc lock on and went in and played for 3 hours, i came out to find my keys still sitting in the ignition , havent done that one for a while, im quite surprised no one noticed, but then thinking about it how often do you look at the ignition of a bike for keys...

Still, very lucky, that would explain why i lost at poker, used my luck up on this

Oh and furthermore to this pointless post, on the way home from that i came out of a corner very fast and was fast closing on a car, which the closer i got turned out to be a police astra (not traffic thank god), so slammed on and overtook them at something like 45 in a 40 (would have been to suspitious to come hauling ass behind them and then stick behind), anyway i got to the next set of red lights first to pulled alongside and were both laughing at me , so i grinned back and put up a meek hand of apology and they gave me that "we dont give a fuck but traffic would have screwed you there" look.

I've left my keys in the bike outside work (although no-one really gos through the car park on foot) and also in the bike parked at home (with the cover over), parked off the road though.

Pretty lucky day then!
So what's the difference between traffic coppers and normal ones?

Am I being stupid?

Traffic police drive dark blue police cars (and unmarked)

Normal police drive everything else!

[Pickledswede]

Ah, thankyou, I shall be on the lookout... for unmarked cars

(sorry for hijack!)

Traffic Police can typically be seen in T5 Volvo's You can tell traffic because they have white caps, Also nearly every traffic car will have onboard video, I regularly speed by 10mph past astras and the like but even i feel nervous when im fully legal and theres a marked T5 in the inside lane doing 40...

From what i understand even normal coppers dont like traffic, the jobsworth bastards that they are...

If theres alot of cones in the back of a car and more ariels than are needed its probably traffic.

Back to the thread, I have left keys under covers etc but this bike was on the main road, i would guess that at least 400 people walked past it while i was inside...

I was woken at 9am on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks before Christmas (after a particularly heavy night out on the Friday) by a Policeman at my door. He asked me if I was Stuart, and my mind started to go into overdrive - what the hell did I DO last night?!!!

He then handed me the keys of my bike and I looked really confused - apparently someone had spied them still in ignition and (because I live in a block of flats and it could have belonged to anyone in it) took it to the police with the reg details. Then they must have matched it with the DVLA database and found my address and came to give me them back...Felt a total pillock mind you...

Back in the days of riding around with mates on 125's we'd often go for a KFC at the local shopping centre. Bikes have their own parking bay which is underground and near the entrance so we'd park there.

Usually halfway through a Zinger tower meal one of us would do the 'seven pocket dance' trying to find our bike key. Usually one of us had left the ignition key in. Doh!

I think it's more of a newbie error. Shame on you Don!

Went on a trip to Le Mans MotoGP a couple of years ago on a new GSXR 750, went to the circuit and went round the museum for an hour or so.

It was only when i got to the coffee shop and put my hand in my pocket i couldnt find my keys...ran back to the bike in the massive car park to find the keys sat in the ignition

Got a bit of piss taking for that!!
