Key came out of the bloody bike while riding.

[highwayrider]

So I get home and the key has frigging come out while riding. So pissed off!!!! Only had the bike 2 days and didn't get a spare key with it. FFS

EDIT:
Kind of sorted now.

That is bad luck, fella. Have you tried retracing your steps?

Depending on the bike, barrel and key sets should be pretty easy to come by if you don't find it.

Cool story.

I have quite literally never heard of this happen before.

My friend's bike will run without the key in, it pulls out in the on position. I guess he should just start it and keep the key in his pocket.

Ignition barrel must have been pretty knackered so having to replace it will probably be a good thing.

I always clip my keys onto my brake lines, mostly because when we were younger, at traffic lights if you weren't 'kill-switch' side of your mates bike...we'd have a tug at the key (just for the laughs)
...anyway, since then I've connected the key to the bike (just in case).

Not that this information helps you in the slightest...!

So just started it up with a standard window key....

New ignition on a GN125 is easy, you can get to it without removing any other parts.

Just unscrew the circle plastic bit around the top of the barrel and the whole thing will drop out the bottom. Then just rip the wires off at the solder point where they're attached to the barrel.

The biggest ballache is the soldering. Make sure you take a note of what colour wires go where.

Looks like you're only options are to buy this...

or ask the guy you bought it off if he can look for the spare key.

Unlucky though mate, it's just one of those annoying shitty things that happens in life.

It says in your edit the house key also opens the petrol tank? which is an entirely different locking mechanism surely? :S

Use the window key. Loads of spares available, at least!

Just don't go starting your bike around any would-be thieves!

That is why you put a lucky keyring on it.

Just use a screwdriver to start it, but be carefull no one sees what type it is or they could sneak in and nick it. When you get a new lockset use a piece of Gaffa tape over the key, problem solved!
