Default Shifting issue...funny one

I was riding to work yesterday and was pulling up to a stop sign when I discoverd I couldn't down shift. Felt like the shift linkage had broken. Had to pull over to the side and shut down to see what the problem was. Wanna venture a guess as to what I found??? Wedged between the shift linkage and the motor was my cigarette lighter. It had somehow fallen out of the fairing and landed next to the shift linkage. Go figure..

Well that's a new one. Good thing you weren't on the inside lane in heavy traffic.
