Hi grump,

Quote:

I have developed a habit of observing the following when I stop riding.....
Shut off the petcock.
Shut off the key..
Put the kickstand down...





Being in the flat lands of FL:
Neutral
Fuel off
Sidestand down
Vera on side stand
Key off
Key out
dismount.

Modify for unlevel terrain or areas where I want to complicate theft:
I'll leave Vera in gear, then hit the kill switch after I turn her off.

"Key Out" before dismount ensures I don't leave the key in the ignition! How many times have I done that?!
