Now that is lazy

I am so lazy that I don't want to reach in my pocket to get the key out when I stop for fuel so today I got rid of the key latch on my gas door and put a push button on it why didn't I do this earlier. Try it you might like it.

I did the same thing. Trouble is, after a few thousand miles, my push button rattles and buzzes like a ****. I still haven't been able to get it to stop.

While that may be lazy, I would do the same thing just in case I lost or forgot my key and I was riding alone. Would need gas at some point and with no other barrel key around I'd be SOL.

In an emergency the barrel from a ball point pen will work.

I keep one on the bike at all times, in my windshield bag. It doesn't operate anything else, so no worries there. It was a junk one I had laying around the house from an old rope lock I had. Good to go. . . I have looked at the push button thingy though also.
