What is the most annoying thing that happens to you on the bike?

Since getting the NC 750X I keep forgetting to get my Ray Bans out of the "frunk" before starting. Take key out of ignition and open the frunk to fetch the shades.

You just gave me an idea Redbirds. When my NC gets here I'm going to build a knob/key for the frunk like I did for my ST 1300 saddlebags. Get a key made, grind the head down so it fits in a plastic bottle lid and epoxy the key in there. Then just leave the knob/key in the frunk since I'm not away from the bike 99% of the time. If leaving the bike just take out the knob/key and put it in my pocket.

That is a great idea.

Many incidents reported on the FB Honda NC700-750 group, riders accidentally locking their key in the frunk and some without a spare.

Agreed Red. Nice one Ferret.

An Aprilia model (Mana 850) had a "frunk", and it opened toward the rider. In addition, Aprilia chose not to use a key, but rather an electric latch pushbutton on the handlebar (enabled only when the accessory/ignition switch was on). It was common to open the trunk on-the-fly to plug/unplug devices in the frunk 12V socket, fetch a camera, drink, or grab a warmer/cooler pair of riding gloves.

Aprilia went one step further: They also provided a back-up mechanical cable-driven lever under the seat that would release the frunk lid.

I believe Honda borrowed the idea of a frunk from Aprilia since Honda's came out years later.
