    If they cannot do it , they'll be able to send it away to someone who can.
    Similar thing happened to a friend, now he has separate keys for the boot, ignition and petrol cap (v annoying)

    JohnBoy i gave beverages locksmith a ring and they told me about all the details, i was gona take it in on monday, but then on the way to work i stoped at the police station and !!!!!!!!!! some one found the litle lather pouch and brought it in I love upper hutt and all the kind ppl who live in it

    the bad thing was that the the ignition key was not in there as it flew off when it hit the ground. But i knew that it was somewhere between gf place and the motorway (maybe 200m of road) so went down and searched...and wouldnt you know it I FOUND IT

    Now that is lucky, thank you all for your suggestion and time... im off to get copies cut as soon as i wake up

    Once you get the new keys, take every chance possible to STOP them falling out of the ignitions. Try superglue
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    And don't bother with the places in shopping malls. I tried going to one in Botany, and he told me they don't do motorbikes (possibly because of a demand issue...), and I should try a locksmith.

    So now sometime during the week, its off to find a locksmith. Its scaring me, the master key was twisted when I got it, straightened it, and after an afternoon of testing the bike it looks like its getting twisted again.

    I have no spares yet either...

    Now that is lucky,
    Struth you better rush out and buy a Lotto ticket. Better still please buy me one you lucky lucky ...
    Try losing your Honda keys with the H.I.S.S. security key chip. Apparently it's about $4,000 to fix - and there is NO alternative

    Jeez 250learna, you are one lucky bloke!!

    Perhaps all those who don't have spare keys should take this as a lesson and get some spares cut - might take a few minutes and a couple of $$$ but worth every moment/cent.

    My keys have a chip in them so I can't get new ones cut from a normal locksmith. I got three keys with each of my bikes. Two "normal" keys, and one has the "master" chip in it which can be programmed into a "blank" Ducati key, so those two (one for each bike) are safely locked away.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
