Default Ridiculously simple to hotwire a Harley
My son again lost his key to his Dyna, had to move the bike and my trailer is at our ranch. Popped the seat, twisted together two wires, that's it.

Judging by the rust on that bike your son isn't going to have worry about it running much longer before something major takes a dump on him.

A little tougher on the new bikes but Hotwiring is still harder than just throughing them in the back of a truck and driving away, the,most popular method.

Yes, and in Texas...do you (1) wash the bike daily, (2) throw salt/brine on it, or (3) ride it to Alaska in the winter.

He left it down at the coast for 8 months... some rust but actually a really sound bike.

Dyna's have some thin spots on critical areas on the frame like around the motor mounts & swingarm pivots, those tend to rust through on a bike that didn't sit in salt air so heads up.

Hot wire hell, most are not even locked.

Turn the switch and go.

As for rust, my 99 dyna has lived on the coast it's entire life and it does not look like that.

I'm in the midwest, the only item I had that was that rusty was my old 1995 Dodge Ram. That picture looks far older then that even. Wow.
