True Wes, but it should be standard equipment for all flatbeds.

Had to help my driver find pieces of wood and tree limbs along interstate for makeshift ramp to raise the side with the flat, cause he started to bottom out that side. Would have been nice if he had that or small ramp. Can only imagine the possible outcome had it been at night. I'm not walking in the weeds or brush after dark!:laugh:

I never lock the forks because if I loose the FOB, I can start the trike without it using the pin, but if the forks are locked.:gah:

After they fixed my ignition switch failure to unlock in the fork lock position, the tech showed me that the ignition switch could be locked in the off position with front wheel straight ahead. He said this would allow for locking to prevent some wise a$$ from turning an unlock ignition switch on and running down battery while one's away for an extended period. Oddly, this method of locking the switch was not included in my owners manual. Guess it's just a matter of how comfortable and confident one is in the safety of leaving their trike unlocked, regardless of the parking location.

I have never worried about somebody stealing my bike - anywhere - don’t know,,,maybe they don’t steal Hondas. Yeah, I would miss it and whatever knick-knacks I left in the trunks. But its insured - so I can start anew with something else...

I used a feeler gauge to peel the emblem up and off. Tightened that screw with locktite and slapped it back together.

I had a locked 1982 Silverado stolen in 1984 during the night. I found out then that it wasn't the end of the world and locking a vehicle did not protect it.

I told the cop who took the police report over the phone that I thought I lived in a good neighborhood. He told me I did. Then he asked why I expected thieves to go looking for a nice Silverado in a bad neighborhood.

When Wille Sutton was asked ,Why do you rob banks he said cause thats where the money is....

I'm not overly concerned with thief of the entire trike. I'm well insured to cover its cost and can get immediate authorization for rental vehicle, plus I have trip interruption coverage. However, I don't plan for them to have a cakewalk either.

What really irritates me is malicious destruction of property and vandalism type crimes against vehicles. These types occurrences require much more time and out of pocket initial cost. Most insurance companies require that we immediately secure the vehicle and insure that it will not incur any additional damage. If you're traveling and this happens, especially late night, it's a huge inconvenience of time and out of pocket costs, usually resulting in long waits for any possible reimbursement.

Take the whole darn vehicle or damage it beyond the cost to repair. Sad to say, but that's golden to me.

For me, I will not go gently into that unlocked good night.....

SO! Now I know where to start looking if mine comes up missing...
