Default 3 different models all the same problem

here is a weird one . 2 guys show up at my house park in front of my driveway turn their bike off. i start my bike in my garage (100 feet away)pull down my driveway and wait for the guys to start their bikes . both bikes a new fat bob and a new roadglide are both showing the blinkers flashing ,like they dont have the keys with them (i left my bike running ) one guy trys to reset his code by pushing in both blinker buttons and that worked on the fat bob but teh roadglide wouldnt start at all . so i shut my bike off only to push the roadglide away from my driveway apron , we moved it 10 feet away from my driveway and everything started working. then i go to get back on my bike and it wont start like i didnt have my key fob, i reset my security code and the bike worked . any thoughts????????

Others have mentioned that Radio Frequencies can cause problems like this. I think I also read that cell phones too close to the Fob may cause problems. Both may be WAG's

WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used to refer to wives and girlfriends of high-profile professional athletes. The term may also be used in the singular form, "WAG", to refer to a specific female partner / life partner

5 WAG
An abbrieviation, short for Wild *** Guess.
The origin of this word is likely military, but that is just a WAG.
