Back in the 60's and 70's they used to test ride them as well. Do
they still that Dennis? Graham

Invariably, when I go to pick my bike up after a WOF, I find the
kill switch
is on.
It hasn't ever got me because my bikes are so reliable at starting
right up
that, if they don't, it's the first thing I think of.
But I always imagine the mechanics sitting inside listening to see
if I'll
work it out or not. And if not, if I'll be in to whine that "My
bike won't
start" which I think would give them all a good laugh.

No I do too, apparently it is a good anti theft device. I swapped
bikes with my brother last week and I got him with the kill switch

First time I rode with my club, we went to a restaurant. On leaving,
and in front of everyone, I couldn't get my bike to start.
I cranked and swore. Cranked and swore. Very embarrassing. Then
someone stepped up and turned the kill switch on. They'd turned it
off while I was inside as an initiation joke. They all laughed,
but it
took a while before I stopped feeling like a fool, so I can
sympathize. Doh, indeed!

I went to start it yesterday and it wouldn't turn over. I cranked
and cranked
and nothing... Only to discover the kill switch was on. Doh!
