 ;D ;D ;D got 'em!!! ;D ;D ;D

I made a tool out of a nail and ground off the sharp end nice and flat for good contact and put about 10 of those little neowhatever magnets on the other end of the nail to make one big magnet and they came up, no problem

Thanks to all and have a good night. I know I'm going to sleep great.

turn the bike upside down and shake it.

I think this was the best suggestion... you guys got too technical with all those fancy magnets

I'm a big proponent of hanging the bike in every orientation to make sure it can survive a brief flight regardless of gravity :P

Been there, done that, used a magnet to save the day.

D'oh!  I hung my bike upside down by the rafters!  Gas and oil everywhere.

I usually only turn it sideways for oil changes, otherwise how do you get the oil out of the plug on top  ???

My oil just goes out the exhaust pipe-the oil changes are way more efficient!

get neodymium magnets.  they make small disc-shaped ones ......

then throw them away because they will stick to everything in your life.

OR you could secure them to the bottom of the frame and potentially trigger traffic lights that don't otherwise change as you sit at them.

Just be glad you had dropped that valve wit hthe bike off. Otherwise you could have a nice new, real expensive paper weight.

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
