I found some amusing true stories regarding locking scooters and gas caps. try to avoid these simple pitfalls.
"I drove to Walmart after work to pickup some blank CDs for my wife. I snapped the wheel lock on to the front brake disc and locked my helmet on the seat with my bike lock that I store under my seat. After shopping I was puzzled when my trunk key wouldn't work. Then I tried to take off the disc lock and that key wouldn't work. Next I tried the key for the bike lock and that wouldn't work either. I stared at my keys trying to figure out what was wrong and then I realized that I had my wife's scooter keys! I am surprised that my wife's keys will start my scooter and unlock the seat. Her and my scooters are two different makes. I felt real stupid having to call my wife and tell her I locked my self out of my bike. Very Happy"
"Had the weirdest and most embarrassing thing happen to me this afternoon.
Went to the petrol station to fill her up and did so, went to put my fuel cap back on and it wouldn't go on. For some reason I thought I had bent the key and the locking mechanism wouldn't turn.
Anyway, went inside to pay for the fuel and asked if they have got some WD40 which I could use a squirt of. She passed me the can and I squirted away.
Five minutes later a biker came in and saw that I was struggling with it and he asked what's up. I told him the situation and he said put it on the tank, push it down and turn the key.
What a numpty I am. It even says on the cap "PUSH TO LOCK"
