Yes, it's the same system.

Holland... I think

Emmm. I know I am a bit sad, but, I used to do that when I was younger. I even had their site bookmarked. Lock picking is sort of interesting.

Almost certainly... Ignition locks on most bikes are very basic. My virago could be switched on with a screwdriver It's not really much of a concern though, I think, because practically nobody rides a stolen bike away.

On the subject of ignition locks, mine is now worn enough that I can remove the key with the engine running This does not inspire confidence in the lock's security.

My dads a locksmith, and those bumpkeys dont work for everything, but wafer locks and rim locks are susceptable to them. tbh anything can be picked IF you know how, and have the right tool
