The book is more about philosophy than psychology. Although it is revealed that the narrator is trying to repress memories of his failure to have his doctoral thesis accepted, the tension grows as the motorcycle tour gets closer to Bozeman, Montana, where his life changing rejection occurred. So far as the connection between Zen and motorcycle maintenance is concerned, read the final paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_and_the_Art_of_Motorcycle_Maintenance

In which case, take the lock to a locksmith and get a key cut. The whole ignition switch assembly just unbolts. The wires terminate in a simple jack plug. It'll be easier to remove than the seat lock (which will need the seat removing before you can access it, and so...) or the filler cap. The Japs stopped stamping key numbers on ignition switches decades ago, for obvious reasons. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
