friesman Posted September 16, 2013 #1 Posted September 16, 2013 Well I found out a VERY important thing NOT to do after buying a new can of Pledge to put into the side bag of the bike. DO NOT put any thing on top of it and then close the lid.... It took me about an hour today to get all of the pledge out of the foam pad and to sop it up from between all those little plastic squares in the bottom of the side bag. And then there is the jacket liners and rainwear that need to be cleaned,..... and I also gotta get all of the wax that dripped down out of the bag onto the left muffler ,...off of the muffler .... Brian

PGunn Posted September 16, 2013 #5 Posted September 16, 2013 I did something similar to that one with a butane lighter that didn't have a childproof sparker. I bought 2 new ones in a package and drove to work. When I got to work I opened the package put one in my pocket and tossed the second into the glove box and walked into the building. I was talking to the guy coming off shift and this other guy comes over and very calmly say hey your car is on fire. Well this guy is know as pulling your leg now and then just to get a rise out of you so I kind of ignored him. Well while talking to the other guy I did a quick look at my car and yup sure as can be the windshield was black there was a crack running through it and smoke was coming out of it. I yell out anyone parked near the side of the building better move their cars mine is on fire. I get out there stand off to the side and crack open the door waiting for the fire to flash and restart which luckily it didn't. Car was totaled if it wasn't burned it was melted and right up until I quit smoking I never tossed or put a lighter in the glove box again.

Let me know Bob

djh3 Posted September 17, 2013 #17 Posted September 17, 2013 On my trip to Canada I kept most of my stuff I needed to get ot easy in the right bag. Well we stopped at the boarder and got across OK. A couple hours later we stopped for fuel. I finnished and got my log book out to put miles and galons. Closed the bag, but something just felt off when closing. We got to hotel and I couldnt get the bag open. I tried all kinds of stuff as I thought maybe a map or something got jammed in the lock. Once it got a bit darker you could peek thru the crack and see the front latch didnt make it back far enough to get into the "cup" thing where the latch was. I was paniced as I knew I needed my passport to get back across. We managed to get it up far enough to get it sorted out. Later after we sorted out the problem I figured I better square out the bag and situate things. Well my snak bag had an explosion and I had m&m and sunflower seeds everywhere in the bag. would have been easier to take off but didnt have the tools. Take the bag off, turn upside down in yard and let the sun heat'er up. Wax should pretty much pour out.
