Business: The Motorcycle Locksmith, mobile motorcycle locksmith. Phone and text: (805) 429-8452 (Ventura County and Santa Barbara side).

South of the Seaward Avenue exit, Ventura turns into a beach town. Pierpont is the grid of short lanes that run from Pierpont Boulevard to the sand, the Ventura Keys are the canal streets behind it, and Spinnaker Drive leads out along the harbor to Ventura Harbor Village, Surfers Knoll, Harbor Cove and the Channel Islands National Park visitor center at the very end. People ride here to eat, to surf and to catch the boat to the islands, and all three involve leaving a bike for hours.

We are a mobile locksmith for motorcycles and scooters only. If the key went into the water at Harbor Cove, sailed off to Santa Cruz Island in someone else's bag or broke in a salt-stiff ignition, we cut and program a new one at the bike and fix the lock if it needs it. Have photo ID and registration or title with you.

## Harbor parking since the paid program began

The Ventura Port District runs a paid parking program at the harbor. According to the district, payment is required on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays from 10 in the morning to 8 at night in the Harbor Village lots, the Whale Lot and the two beach lots, and those lots are free Monday through Thursday outside holidays. The boat launch ramp on Anchors Way is paid at all times. Payment is by plate at a pay station or by phone. Days, hours and rates can change, so go by the pay station.

The district lists these as free at any time: curb parking along Spinnaker Drive, the Dolphin Lot at Ventura Isle Marina east of the Village, and the North Lot at Harbor Boulevard and Schooner Drive.

- Harbor Cove Beach and Surfers Knoll Beach lots close from 9 at night to 5 in the morning, with no overnight parking.
- Overnight parking at the Village is only in the Whale Lot and only with a permit, such as the one island campers get through the boat operator.
- Vehicles have to be out of a lot before it closes for the night.
- Camping is prohibited throughout the harbor.

## If your key is on the island and your bike is not

Riders who take the boat to the Channel Islands sometimes come back to find the key is missing. If the bike is in the Whale Lot on an overnight permit, keep the permit paperwork to show the harbor patrol if asked. If it is in a beach lot that closes at 9, it cannot stay, so call as soon as you are back in range and tell us which lot.

## Pierpont and the Keys

In Pierpont most bikes live in carports, on driveways and at the ocean ends of the lanes, where spray reaches them on windy days. Marina Park, at the end of Pierpont Boulevard, has its own free lot, and there is a small lot plus curb parking at the foot of Seaward Avenue that fills fast. Locks on bikes kept this close to the surf get gritty and stiff. A key that needs wiggling is a warning. Have the lock serviced before the key breaks in it.

## Local notes for Ventura Harbor and Pierpont riders

- Know your lot by name. The district uses Whale Lot, Dolphin Lot, North Lot, Harbor Cove and Surfers Knoll on its signs and pay stations, and each has different rules.
- Pay-by-plate means the payment follows the license plate. If you paid and then lost the key, the bike is covered until the paid time or the lot's closing hour runs out, whichever is first.
- A wetsuit key pocket is not waterproof for a transponder key. If yours has been in the surf and the bike now cranks but will not start, the chip may be the problem, not the battery.

## Ventura Harbor and Pierpont motorcycle key FAQ

### Is parking at Ventura Harbor Village free for motorcycles?

The Port District's paid program applies to the Village lots on Fridays, weekends and major holidays from 10 to 8, and the district does not list a separate motorcycle rule. Monday through Thursday the Village lots are free, and Spinnaker Drive, the Dolphin Lot and the North Lot are listed as free at all times.

### I lost my key at Harbor Cove and the lot closes at 9. What now?

Call us with the lot name and your bike's year, make and model. The beach lots do not allow overnight parking, so if a key cannot be made before closing, the bike will need to be pushed out to Spinnaker Drive, where curb parking is free.

### Can salt air really stop my key from working?

Over time, yes. Corrosion and grit build up in the wafers of ignition, seat and gas cap locks and the key begins to stick. We can clean or repair the lock, or replace it and supply matching keys if it is too far gone.

## Helpful guides

- [Motorcycle Helmet Lock Keys: Factory Holders and Add-Ons](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/motorcycle-helmet-lock-keys/): Most factory helmet holders use the ignition key, either directly in a small lock on the side of the bike or indirectly, because the helmet hangs on a hook that the locked seat or trunk traps.
- [Signs Your Motorcycle Ignition Switch Is Failing](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/motorcycle-ignition-switch-failing-signs/): A motorcycle ignition switch is two parts in one housing: a lock cylinder that reads the key and an electrical switch that powers the bike.
- [Motorcycle Immobilizers Explained: HISS, KIPASS and More](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/motorcycle-immobilizer-explained/): A motorcycle immobilizer is an anti-theft system that only lets the engine start when it recognizes a coded chip in the key or a paired fob.
