Yikes.......I had a spare made, but after reading this, I like the idea of the zip tied spare as well. Wouldn't want to be at a Rally, etc and suddenly be keyless!

(You'd think I'd of thought of something like this AFTER my lil' mishap in Myrtle Beach a couple of years ago on a bike/golf week trip. We trailered the bikes there and since we loaded them up the night before, Mr Absentminded never thought of his key! Luckily, half our group were 'golfers only' and flying in the next day. I was able to get one of them to pick up my key. Otherwise, I was going to find out just how worthwhile my AAA membership was! )


BTW......anyone know of a source for OEM style keys (black plastic coated)? My only source locally is ONE solitary Key Shop, but they only have the cheesy blanks. (I know it's really anal of me, but I'd rather pay the extra for the OEM key)
