welcome to the site everyone, be sure to read through the FAQ's and stickies :)

lockedbike, i used to collect keys when i was really young, i remember my cousin getting a moped and taking the keys to it with him, my dad needed to move it, so he got my keys out and two of them fitted the lock! :lol:

you can learn to pick, but i think motorbikes come under the same catagory as cars here, in the "automotive" section and aren't really discussed, due to the problem of theives reading it etc. if you do try and pick it, just be careful, i imagine motorbike locks and car locks are similar and can be damaged fairly easily if you dont know what you're doing.

andjust ut of interest.....even if you do unlock it, every time you want to start it you'd have to pick it! surely its better to pay a locksmith a bit to cut you a key or 2 and be done with it?

just my thoughts ;)

again, welcome to the forum everyone!

Hold'er there skippy. You might want to think twice about learning to pick locks on your door. If you don't know what you're doing just yet things can sometimes go awry. If you're ready willing and able to replace the lock if need be, than have at'r. Otherwise, stick to practice locks.

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum. :)

I have been lurking for a year or so and just registered the other day. I am a security profesional and just started to learn to pick locks to better understand the physical side of security. I mostly focus on computer and network security.

Cheers,

Was doing a web search and found the site. I am looking for info/assistance with options for getting into a lock that I have lost the keys for. Hid them from the kids and did too good of a job, just can't find 'em....

Hi guys, just picked my first lock yesterday and have immediately decided to take lock picking seriously, so here I am. This also seems like a good opportunity to mention the text at the very bottom of the page. I guess you can see what's wrong with the word Rembering :wink:

Hello everyone at Lock Picking 101.

I have been a random veiwer of LP101 for about a year, and have finally decided to join up and talk that talk with everyone else. I have been picking for two years now, and I am getting a little bit bored with my few locks. I now have an income, so new locks will be coming in soon :D .

After taking a break for a six months or so, I am back into picking. I have made myself an entirely new set and am now doing better than I was before I quit.

(sorry for long posts... I am a writer)
Thank you everyone.
Cheers
