Ambitious But Rubbish
So today... after working a 9 hr 3rd shift and staying up til noon (still havent slept as i'm typing this) i rode the bike to town to pick up some donuts.... turns out they dont fit in a jacket unless u want crumbly donuts... so i ran to ACE hardware to grab some bungees.... got the bungees... unlocked my seat, took key out of seat lock (dumbazz) put the bungees in by where the tool kit is... locked the seat back in place... Then... HM, wheres my keys? checked right pocket left pocket, the back pockets... hoodie pocket... nadda... "oh sh1t!" as the current situation walks up and slaps me in my exhausted face...
I only got one key in my bike so i was desperately trying to peel the sides of the seat up to get to the key... managed to get both bungies out, hoping it would drag my poor little key with them...but of course no.
So after a half hour of sweating my arse off in a jacket hoodie and polo... in the 3 h's... still couldnt see the key... i was thinking i was either going to have to have a key made by kawi or cut the seat off... (i have the stock seat sitting around somewhere)....then i lifted the very tail of the seat... to see how the locking mechanism worked and if it could be pryed... looked...nope. kawi made this system quite well, unfortunately...
As my eyes wandered back towards my tail-light, i realize my keys were sitting there... just out of reach! So i grabbed one of the bungees i pulled out and attempted to hook it... touched it, and it fell about an inch deeper in. I thought to myself "eff it, i'll risk a hand injury" (had been in the Ace parking lot for a while now and was starting to attract attention). So i lifted the locked in seat by the tail as hard as i could, jammed a hand in there grabbed it, and thanked my stars i wasn't going to have to call to get my bike towed...
So i unlocked my seat, put my key in my pocket this time... put the bungees back in and was putting the seat back on when a friend of my dad's pulls in the parking lot, asking about the bike, if it was new etc. (had no idea what just happened lol) i said "yeah had it a couple months now" He asked me how many cc's i responded, 650... he said, and i found this funny as it was also referred to by a FZ6 forum member as... "looks like something from star wars" and he went into the hardware store... I laughed and went to get my donuts... a sweaty mess...and when did they start making snapples in glass??? had to shove that in my pocket (luggage def gonna be my first mod).
Anyways, i thought i'd let my good friends at the forum have a nice long laugh at me
2 60+ hr weeks on 3rd shift then trying to stay up takes it's toll on you...lol

going to bed now, expect me back and posting in, oh, say 20 hrs or so? 
:spank: Always try & keep your pockets empty coz anything in them will stab you if you go down. All you need is a tank bag most of the time & you'll be amazed how much they fit in :thumbup:
