I have mislaid my (only 
) key for the steering lock. NB no ignition on these bikes! Every other bike has loads of spare keys 
The little key code doofer (with which if I understand correctly I could order a replacement key) was of course on the same keyring as the (now missing) key. I do not need assistance pointing out that I am even more of a plonker than the kind of plonker who loses his only key 
Honda dealer tells me there are only 2 types of key pattern and there is a code on the bike near the steering lock barrel saying which it is. But there isn't, or not that I can see anyway.
Honda UK tell me they cannot supply a key code from the chassis or engine numbers and that the only way to order a replacement key is:
(a) with the little key code doofer (that I've lost) or, in some cases;
(b) the key code may be stamped on the bike in a difficult-to-find place, although Honda UK couldn't tell me where on the bike that might be. [This makes no sense to me as they tell me they don't supply key codes from the chassis or engine number as "it's a security issue", yet they say some bikes have the key code stamped on the bike somewhere – why stamp it on the bike if it’s a security issue - baffles me, but that's what they said ]. They say the only other option is;
(c) replacement barrel and key, although they can't even guess how much that might cost.
Anyone know where on the bike this code might be or got any better idea ? I would just take the bike to the dealer to sort, but the steering lock is on so I can't ride it and I don't have a van or trailer. Additionally, although they were trying to be helpful, I’m not sure I trust the info they’ve given so far. I can get the barrel drilled out by my local mechanic dude, but would rather leave it intact if at all possible.
On a separate note, why am I such a bloody ar5e ?
While you're pndering, I'm off to empty the hoover bag - I'm sure I've looked everywhere else
