Topic: in my "younger" days i might have called it my own...

[heffay]

pulled up to my 2nd to last day of school today and there was a riderless R6 w/ tankbag and... headlight on  ... "wait a second, don't all new bikes need the key to run the headlight?" i say to myself.

i back elizabeth's vfr (what can i say, its fun to ride and she rides it HARDLY EVER) into the stall next to it... sure 'nuf.  a full set of keys dangling from the ignition.

i switched it to the off position, wiped the drool from my chin and yanked myself out of subconsciousness. 

it was there when i got out of class waiting, keyed and ready.

i suppose i could've just left the key in the viffer    but, alas, i rode away having fought the demon and won.

You left the light on.... I was just making sure it would still start, shift, turn, ect......

and there are so many good excuses that i kept coming up w/ during class!

You shoulda took the keys.......left a note to contact you........then chewed his ass for making it easy to steal his bike!!!!!!!! You could get atta-boys for turning the key off and saving his battery...................who knows all the possibilities???

And on next weeks show with Dateline NBC, Chris Johanson improves on his latest stunt of who wants to steal an IPOD by tempting college people with a free R6.

Wow, thank god I got most of my felonies done with years ago...... 

& then again............

[heffay]

if he does it again today or it is still sitting there this morning... i'm adding it to my stable

Hey Heffay, my daily rider is a vfr. I love it. CB is for the tinkering.


But then that R6 would be nice to add to the collection....

the viffer is the only one of our bikes that is fuel injected... yes, those others are definitely for the tinkering

I was at a local Bike hangout/bar this past Wednesday which draws tons of bikes on Wed nights.
As I was looking over the bikes I came across this wicked little BMW cafe.
As I am looking at it what do I see, but the keys sitting in the ign..

I went inside and found the owner, he was more than happy that I did..

A friend of mine does that all the time...he thinks it's cool to use the kill switch and just coast to a stop...then he walks off without his keys! The best one was when he walked out and his battery was dead because he left the lights on!

Which is why that red switch/button is called the emergency engine cut-off!!

I do the same thing, but I just turn the key off to kill the bike..
Plus  I dont do it to be cool, becasue I am cool allready 

[heffay]

i never use the kill switch... unless i want to flick it off for a moment to make a great backfire 

so, if i do use the kill switch for some reason when parking... it usually takes me a few minutes on restart to figure out what the problem is

I never use the kill switch because I never remember that I did.
