^AHHHHHHHHHHH Bwahaha... No key lmao!!! Well I first got the bike I'd have a tendancy to leave the key in the bike and come into the garage the next day and its barley got any power and not enough to start it. It was because in a car the lights all go off when you take the key out and I always hit the kill switch soo its allready off ...

Don't do that anymore ;)

Both of the bikes I've owned to date haven't had the kickstand down = cutoff switch working. I'd rather have the bike "stall' than ride off and try and take a left hander out of my apt. complex... I don't do that one anymore.

Its happened to me a few times in the past, and occasionally I will forget I have the stand down and drop into first gear. I always look around afterwards to make sure no one was watching...lol.

about the kill switch thing- i NEVER leave the bike with the kill switch on OFF. i turn the bike off with it once in a while, sometimes i drop the stand to kill it, sometimes i turn off the key- but when i use the switch, i put it back to RUN.

sometimes someone will hit it while i'm not around (a buddy that plays with my bike when i'm gone or something. i don't really care, it's not a big deal). When you intentionally leave it ON, it doesnt really cross your mind that it might be OFF. so yeah- i've done that a few times. kinda makes me feel dumb. but my katana never liked to start on the first time anyways, when it was cold. (second time no problem, but for some reason not the first... oh well)

eh- happens to the best of us, i guess. i dont feel bad about it. unless the hottest girl ever walks by (there's a girl at my school who has this nickname among my buddies and i).... then it's embarassing....
