I read the title and you scared me there Mick
![]() But I think that was your intention ![]() Well if you just put the ignition key on a ring by itself and the other 5 lbs of keys on a separate ring I don't think the key will fall out. Also carry a spare key in your wallet or somewhere accessible on the bike. Just trying to help ![]()

Not true Mick, what I said was I don't read anything you post unless it is in the section I moderate.
This is the section I moderate. Soooooo, I have to keep an eye on you here. When you post anywhere else, I consider you their problem ![]()

I leave my key in the ignition on a key fob. I learned my lesson right after I bought my Nomad. I started it in my shop and for some dopey reason, got off with it running and set the keys on my desk. I rode to a local watering hole, turned the bike off and realized I was screwed. Thankfully my wife was home so fetched the key and brought it to me. It's backed out of the ignition or fallen out.
And hey Mick, I saw a sailboat with double keels like yours and asked a sailing friend about it. He said they are very common in UK and are made to settle on the keels in areas where this is significant tides. Did you ever get yours out?

I've always heard that the two happiest days in a boat owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it!

That's an old saying but I also run with the boating crowd up here, have one of my own, and there are some really dedicated boater out there. I just love being out on the water.

Selling a boat one doesn't need in order to buy more bike stuff goes into the Good Things column.
Come to think of it, I might try to trade my boat for a bike of equal value in the spring. I have three good friends with very large sailboats, one a 54 foot cat, who are always asking me to go for a sail so it's not as if I need one either.
