When I got my new 75 Goldwing I locked the keys in the little box in the tank, which as we all know was not a tank but a cover. I had to take a lot of stuff apart to get them back out.
DOH!

I once bolted the rest of a 750 top end together and was gathering up my tools for the night, when I found the front camchain slipper sitting under the front of the engine.

I didn't have two of them.
