    On my old radrover you could use a HD74 key blank as a universal key. You can buy one at Ace hardware for $2. You don't need to have it cut, it works on all the 2020 and earlier rads. Not sure if it works on the new bikes.

    typical texan man, letting all the ladies/kids move the debris XDD I saw the SAME THING HAPPEN AT MY APARTMENT COMPLEX LOLL I come out to see all the ladies raking the debris from the drains to keep them unclogged and two young women moving branches to the side. Meanwhile, all the guys just conversing with one another and telling the same story everyone had. Like.. yes we all saw the storm blow over the same trees, get over it- lets get to work. 😅
