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.
