S.O.S. Help, locked keys in seat

Post by Tomato Bisque »

I know, I know I'm a class A moron. And the spare is not attainable at the moment. I've searched on here and see there is an uber secret way of getting in and would sure appreciate a PM. Pretty please?

Also, Roadside Assistance wanted to charge $100 for the favor- is that the going rate??

Glad you got it open. :)

It happened to me once before too, while I was on a date! I was so distracted by the cute girl I was out with, I left my keys in the lock of my chain after I put it under my seat. Fortunately I already knew the way in, and had my handy phillips-head on my other keychain.

I have a rough house and have almost done the same thing several times... Could someone PM me, that is if it is possible on the RH...

Thanks

I've learned as much as I can about my new buddy scooters but I don't know what to do in the event I lock myself out. Can I be part of the super secret club too? 8)

Are you mechanically inclined? If so, think of what happens when you turn the key to open the seat. What has to happen at the other end? That's your answer.

Or I'll just PM it to you. :)

The point of not posting it publicly is to keep it from showing up in Google searches, not to pretend that it's a deep and arcane secret that can only be gained by members of the Mystic Order of Modern Buddy. If I see a request that seems credible to me, I'm not inclined to withhold the information just to maintain that illusion.

He's said he's happy to no longer be anyone's boss, he's enjoying riding, and planning a new career.
