Hello all. My '02 reg Kawasaki ER-5 is being delivered tomorrow. It all appears to be okay, however, the seller has just informed me that he can't find the spare key. I'm sure it's perfectly innocent, however, there's a little man in the back of my mind that shouting SOMEONE'S SOLD YOU A BIKE AND HAS THE SPARE KEY FOR IT AND KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE. I've organised parking in a garage at a friend's house that the seller doesn't know about, however, I'm wondering how much it may work out to have the lock changed as one would in a car. There is no immob for it so it should be pretty easy. Do you have any suggestions? --Nick.
It's just the tip of the iceberg, imagine buying a house and moving in, then several months later the previous homeowner contacts you saying they'd found a key to the house. They could have been in your house for months, using the toilet, watching the television and all sorts! Let's all panic!!!!!
I emailed him and asked if it had two keys a week ago and he said yes it does have two keys. He's delivering it tomorrow to me (failed my test ) and when he just called I mentioned the second key and he said he hadn't seen it for ages and doesn't know where it is. --Nick.
Hello all. I couldn't imagine a worse case scenario.....Finding out I had been using Ginges "facilities " Euuuuuuuuuuurgh! -- -- Robbo Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004. B.O.S.M 2003, 2004 FURSWB#1 KotL..YTC449 PM#7 ..
If he had wanted to half inch the bike he could have just got a 3rd key cut and you'd have been none the wiser. I assume you will have some other form of security that will stop him riding off? The locks on a decent quality chain will be much more secure than the ignition barrel anyway -- Alex Hermes: "We can't afford that! Especially not Zoidberg!"

He's throwing in a disc lock, but I think I will take the advice of my instructor and "buy a fucking big chain" and chain it to something massive. --Nick.
Aye. Sort your fucking sig out. If you can't be consistent here and fall back into bad habits as easily as you are displaying this evening, you have no chance with a bike test.
Yeah. He arrived today complete with bike and all documents, complete with full service history and a copy of every invoice and receipt and certificate up to and including the original bill of sale. He was a really nice man. We signed the reg doc and even popped it in the post. I did, however, still deliver it to a friend so that it could stay in his locked garage until I get some insurance from it. It was "quite zoomy" as I had a run around with it before dropping it off (but not using public roads, officer, promise) It's my first proper bike! I know it's only an ER-5 but I think I'm going to get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it. When I pass my test on the 8th, naturally.

I've done most of my training on a CG125, and I'll be doing a test on one so I shall not speak badly of them until after I've passed. However, the CG125 doesn't appear to mind that I've abused it so much over the past few weeks.
Nick wrote Truly, God's Own Motorcycle has it's place in the overall heap that is motorcycles in general. However, their place is definitely near the bottom. These things, as with many others, will become apparent if you live long enough to gain experience. A part, if not most, of its charm really.
