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

starting down the road and feel my helmet strap flapping because I forgot to strap it up!

Available now are the magnet strap clasps which allow riders to do up the helmet with their gloves on. Example: The Klim Krios Pro helmet has them.

That happened to me on a group ride. I had to drop out of the ride because I couldn't stand having it unstrapped.

It sound to me like forgetting to stop at a stop sign...

Yeah, and with some helmet clasps, a few swats at the Adam's Apple will do it too.

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.

I think the original Goldwing had a storage area in it's faux tank.

take off down the road in a group ride and suddenly have to go after you tried your best before taking off to go...

[GoldOxide_imp]

Maybe most annoying to some:

Suiting up, helmet on and go.

Commence merge onto to freeway ... no earplugs. (duh)

I usually forget my sunglasses or even where I put them. To solve this one I have TWO sets of sunglasses on one of my workbenches in the garage where I leave them after riding. I have 2 because I may even forget to leave one pair there!
P.S..I still do not wear earplugs. I want to hear all that is around me, and my hearing is still exceptional after 50 years of being on bikes. I think all the Rock concerts I attended as a brash young man would have killed them off years ago, but nope. I even got a job in Grad school that was rating sound systems for a private firm that created sound systems for just about every thing you could think of, even in tanks!
