Default what have you lost?

Lost my shifter peg today, thought I had her on with loctite but I guess I didn't. I'd been on the highway for about 3 hours, was coming up to a stoplight and when I went to downshift it was gone. Sure am glad that it didn't bounce and go through someone's windshield. I know first chance I got I stopped and made sure nothing else essential was loose.

What have any of you had fall off your bike while riding?

My brother had the shifter peg fall off on a ride, so I used red locktite.

Only thing that has fallen off my bike so far (knock on wood) is a screw from the windshield.&nbsp\\; Every now and then I have to tighten the stock antennae.

The exhaust pipe on the front cylinder&nbsp\\;of&nbsp\\;'77 Sportster I used to ride came loose and fell off.&nbsp\\;Fortunately, I was going very slow when it happened.&nbsp\\;

First Gen curved license plate frame and plate. It was there when I left for work but 15 miles later it was gone never to be seen again.
