  Turning off your motorcycle

Do you use the kill (on/off) switch and then turn off the ignition on the dash? I don't.                          OR Do you NOT use the kill switch but simply turn off the ignition on the dash? I do.  Using the kill switch and the ignition switch to turn off the bike is kind of a jinx thing for me.  I believe it is unnecessary wear on the kill switch, decreasing the life expectancy.  And since I have to turn off the ignition on the dash anyway there's no need to mess with the kill switch.  And, the ignition switch is a helluva lot easier to fix/replace than the kill switch. On my shovel head?  Same scenario except that like Aquadave, I shut off the gas.  less

  Which band?

  If you were taking a trip on your bike and could only listen to one band who would it be?  My choice; AC/DC.

When I turn off the bike I automatically turn off the gas petcock. The key is right there and it's a natural movement for me. Is that strange? Little do they know I also use a non-vented gas cap. you have to unscrew it a little to allow it to vent. I tell you this I don't worry about leaving the key in it. you won't get far if you try to steal it
