Press the key in and gently turn it - see if it will turn back to the left or right - maybe squirt a bit of penetrating oil down beside the key might help as well.

Welcome fellow Hoosier. Is the wheel locked too?

no it is not, nice to see a fellow hoosier!!! but I am running into another problem, when I have the key on, and press the start button it just clicks, I can feel it through the solenoid and the starter without taking it apart

Thanks - will see what I can do - I'm not much of a video taker or picture taker lol.

I should have taken a video of my most recent ride going up and back the Putty road in NSW... it's a nice ride but avoid weekends because of the squids..and there is a nice cafe stop in the middle of the ride at about 100km's from home - and they serve good coffee..

Here is a link to a video (not mine) to let you know what it is like - I'll even throw in a photo of me last year coming home on my 1988 Goldwing..I sold my goldwing and now have a Valkyrie...but the road is still the same. The video is jut one of hundreds of the putty road.

Cheers
