Lost in similar fashion a brand new pair of Revo sunglasses my sister had given to me. Wasn't wearing them but not-so-smartly put them in my pocket. Went back to look for them, but no dice. Pretty upset for a while there....

I have been reading the threads, know where to put my gas cap, lemon pledge, and wife. Got the warnings on the blinker fluid, etc.
It did not occur to me to be sure I have no folding money in the chest pocket before I hit the highway. The second I saw it flash in front of my face I knew that it was my $80 blowing out of my life forever.
What have you guys lost on the road? Where you able to go back and find it?
Anyway, I won't do that again.

I<<snip>>>. No luck finding them. So now I need to tell the wife. That's going to go over well. I couldn't do it. Didn't want to hear about it for the rest of my life. So I put an old broken pair of hearing aids in my pants pocket and threw them in the laundry. Now it's her fault for not checking pockets

Of all the things I've lost in life....it's my mind I miss the most.
NO seriously, one day I stopped to pick up my usual 6'er. Bought a lottery ticket at the same time, as I always do. I saw the ticket fly out of my shirt pocket, it kissed my nose as it went by. I was gonna turn around and try to find it but I was too thirsty so I rode on. There was a winning ticket that draw and nobody ever claimed it. $3.25 Million. I still wonder about that one. It makes me sick to this day. But I still stop every night and grab the 6'er.
Haven't bought a lottery ticket since.

Okay, I've been riding again for maybe 3 weeks. About a week ago I was calling my wife to get an address for a store so I could check the fit on a brand of helmet that was for sale on craigslist. After I tucked the phone, I decided it was such a short ride to the store that I would enjoy some non-helmet riding. I had done this once before without an issue. I put my little 3/4 helmet on the sissy bar and took off. I guess the last time I did that there were no bumps to be found, cause this time I did hit a notable bump. I heard something hit the ground, and saw somebody's helmet bouncing around on the street behind me. There was a hobo on the sidewalk in the area. I pulled up to a stoplight and some dude in a car told me my helmet was in the road. That was kind of embarrassing. So I turned around to get it. It was gone. I guess that bum is tricking around the sidewalks and alleys under my $25 thrift store helmet. So I ended up buying the half helmet off of craigslist for that same $25 price.
