There pushing HD's around or trailering them to their favourite posing hangout, so they dont really need it anyway.

The bike will start and run when the fob is within range...but if you stall the bike or turn it off without the 'fob' being in range, you're fucked! So if you realize you've lost it on your ride, don't whatever you do turn it off untill you go and fetch your spare!

Unless, you're a repeat offender, and it was the spare.

Less hassle from 'the law' and gives other riders something to gloat about.

I was under the impression the Federation didn't have cloaking technology?

and Warp 5?

Pah, Enterprise could exceed that in 1967!

I won't go in to too much scientific detail, but it is all to do with the bandannas.

Nope! You can ride it as far as you like. Turn it off and you have a problem though. You can actually still bypass the security system without the fob if you know your pin number though.

was zipped up in jacket pocket zip managed to come undone and it went some where between chch and taitapu via the port hills
135 dollars later i had a replacement
15 dollar for key
95 for fob
the rest getting it reprogrammed which also makes the old one useless
and a very unhappy wife who had to bring out my spare
i now know the pin bypass

Who carries a spare key with them? A friend has a spare taped inside his tailight lens. I have one fitted out of sight . It cant be seen, and its no use in a draw at home.

Well the owner got his key today. I got a call from AMPS. Another motorcycle store had rung them to order a new set of keys and fob quoting the number I'd given them. Amps let them know I had the key. Some guy from the motorcycle store in Newmarket came around and retrieved the keys this arvo. Saved the guy $50 for keys. $80 for the fob and reprogramming.

It's great to have the keys find their home. I was curious how it would get back to the owner if it ever did. So getting a new key from the supplier outdid, calling the police, looking on KB or reading sideswipe.

The rider knew he lost the key between Newmarket and Greenlane. (It was on the Great South Road just down from Repco) Apparently he had put the key in the lock. It's fallen out while riding.
