Default Ever Done This?

Yesterday I backed my bike out of the garage onto the lawn, put on all my gear, closed the garage door and the damn thing wouldn't start. I started thinking of all the things I might've disconnected when I'd wiped it down last. I took off the seat (as I'd switched them) and jiggled the wires. That's the extent of my mechanical expertise on both cars and bikes. Still, the lights came on but dead when I tried to start...most of you have probably guessed what happened....sure enough, I'd left the fob in the kitchen...what a dumbass!!!

Did the same thing, except that I had laid the fob on the top of the saddlebag earlier in the day. Of course, it fell off somewhere between home and the bank and I never found it. But thank god for the code system; I was able to restart and eventually had to buy a new fob (spare was bad).
