Kryptonite?? Not really

[I-7]

I dont know if any of you heard this but the Kryptonite locks that many use to chain up their bikes or atv's have a serious design flaw! The U shaped lock can easily be picked with the back of a ballpoint pen. You can read more about it here :eek2:

Heard of it!

And have already done it and Needless to say I could not get it as you mentioned but with a bobby pen it popped right open!

I only said that do to the fact that I am so careful know it is not funny. I had two dirtbikes stolen and a quad. So needless to say I try and pick all the locks I use now.

My brother is the master at it! I lost my key to an idustrial lock that I use and could not ride for a while. He got home from the military and set down and messed with it and finally got it open (after it was already cut off with a sawsall).

Dad purchased the krypto locks for our bikes so I thought it would be a good idea to try and open it. Boom the thing pops right open. Luck or skill? I have no skill, my whole life has been based on luck. But I still got it open within 5 minutes of messing with it.
