WTF?

It seems as though my luck has been steadily getting worse over the last few weeks...

Last night I went to golds gym in arlington, worked out, and headed back home. Upon arrival at my house, I was missing my passenger seat. WTF? I guess I didn't latch it well after unlocking my helmet...

Now I am looking at spending $80 on something I rarely use accept to have locking storage.... Ridiculous.

Anything like this ever happen to anyone else?

I often worry about it, but maybe that's what causes me to make sure that I hear the 'click'.

Post up your bike make and model ... maybe someone has an extra they can loan you for while as you're checking out Ebay.

Haven't had it happen, but have come close to having it happen and I've heard of others who have had it happen.

You've got an SV, right? I've got an extra one sitting in my garage (I think, I'll check in a few minutes). You're welcome to have it. Also have a rider's seat... I was planning on reupholstering them for better comfort, but then I realized it would be easier to just buy a new motorcycle...

I just remembered, you have a 1st gen, don't you? My passenger seat is definitely available, but it's off of a 2nd gen, and I'm not sure if they are compatible. If they are, let me know quick, and I can stash it outside my front door before I leave tomorrow, and you can come get it at your leisure.

I don't think it is going to fit. I'll just keep looking. Thanks for the offer though.

For anyone else wondering, I have a 2002 SV650. If you have a passenger seat available, let me know.

Firewa11 lost his rear seat cowl once I think.

I guess I'm lucky. Mine bolts on, so I wouldn't be losing it. However, it is a pain in the rear to break out the allen wrench every time I want to get in there, which isn't often, you can't fit anything more than the manual in there.

You can borrow mine. I'll bring it to bike night. Should fit, I have an 07 GSXR-600.

Likewise, I have a seat from a 06 750 that I won't be using for a while. The woman is pregnant and doesnt want to ride for some reason.

I have a rear seat and cowl from my 06 GSXR-750, lemme know. I can part with either-or.

Well, if it's PINK you're looking for, you need to talk to StupidFast (Chris) ... he's into PINK gear!

stupidfast is a little guy though. His gear wont fit her.

yeah, but I'm sure he knows where to go look to find the pink gear.
