   I've been having trouble with the key for my #motorcycle not going in or turning easily, and it finally peaked today when I was out running an errand and couldn't get the key to turn to start the bike to go home.
   Finally got it to turn, brought the groceries home, left the key on while dropping them off, drive straight to the shop and asked them to look at it.

     I also ordered a pair of heated gloves while I was there, because I'm all done with riding in the winter with most of my body plenty warm while my fingers are freezing.

     I was rewarded with an amused tech explaining to the newbie (me) in small words that locks get ice crystals in them in the winter and need to be lubricated. He did it for me and didn't charge me.
     I bought a can of 6in1 from their shop so I can do it myself from now on. I think I can also use it to protect exposed metal engine parts from winter sand and salt?
