    Remove Before Flight

    This is the nicest looking of these I've seen, so I thought I'd pass it along. They happen to be on sale right now and they mail 'em free (in the USA).  We hooked one onto the bike battery floater/charger cable (below) so we don't roll out of the garage while still plugged in.  Plus we will now use them for the disc locks on overnighters instead of the yellow coil-cord that looks hokey. 

    The 2 x 16 (pictured below) looks cool hanging off the bike like a warbird.  

    The 5-1/2 x 1-1/2 fits in your pocket with your key, as a disc lock reminder. 

    This is the only thing we've bought from these folks so we can't speak for the quality of the other stuff.  But these are cool.

    I've been around flight ops of one type or another for most of my life.  Been using these, or something similar, since I was a kid.  They are a great reminder!

     Not only a reminder, but very usefull when you stop for a while and are too lazy to take off your riding gloves. It makes it much easier to find the bike's key with your gloves on your hands. Have got one of those.

    I've always been a fan of the t-shirt/pajamma version they make for the ladies.

    Thanks for the heads up, they have lots of head wraps for 5 bucks.

    We use those at work all the time. Mandatory items for F-16's. I like the stands, how'd you make that work?

    The stands come with the correct tips.  The bike's weight is at the top of the stand's capacity rating but it is within the rating!  Another member turned me on to these.  The manufacturer and part# are:

    I use the bottom stand with the opposite (rubber) side rotated up.

    That's nifty. I thought you had to have spools or something like that installed to use stands like those. I might have to get some stand like those.
