While on trip 700 miles away from home this weekend. One of the guys I was riding with has a Electra Glide (1998?). We stopped for breakfast. Came out he could not get his key in the bike to turn the ignition on. The slot in the key hole was between the lock and unlock positions. Since the key has "key" that fits in this slot, there was no way to get the key in the bike to turn the ignition on. So we were stuck, at least the forks where not locked.
Our solution was to to file the "key" off of the key. And we were on our way.
I have no idea how this could have happened, but it did. My theory is the key hole became sloppy over time, the key worn and some weird combination allowed the key to come out between positions.
