Default Alarm

Found out my alarm on my 05 Ultra works today.&nbsp\\; I was late
getting out of the office and in a hurry so I jumped on the
bike and stood it up.&nbsp\\; Yep, alarm works great. &nbsp\\; I'll take
some ribbing about it tomorrow, that's for sure.&nbsp\\; There was
only about 12 to 15 other riders in the bike lot when it
I did it.&nbsp\\; Usually they'd all be gone but N0 NO NO, not today
when I screw up.&nbsp\\; They all had to be there and laughing their
collective asses off. But, as Ron White would say, that's good
information to have.
Ride safe,
Dano

It's like having a motion sensor disc alarm going off and trying to convince everyone it actually is your bike.

The other day I grabed the car fob instead of the bike. Alarm went off on the bike and when I reached in my pocket for the fob I hit the Panic button for the car&nbsp\\;[X(]&nbsp\\;

That's what I told them this morning when they started
ribbing me about it.&nbsp\\; I tried to get in a little early and
beat them but they all came in early to and we pulled in
about the same time.&nbsp\\; Told them that I'd wanted to test
it out for sometime and figured why not

Now that would have been embarassing. &nbsp\\; I don't have
any neighbors to wake up but if you do, I bet that got
their attention

I may "actually" test mine once in awhile at home but
I hope I don't do it like that again.&nbsp\\; I dang near crapped
my britches when that thing went off.
