This fall when wearing heavy gloves I somehow hit the kill switch while rolling down the road, this ever happen to anyone else? Or am I the only dumba$$.
I've done it in a torrential downpour trying to hit the 4 way flashers (yes I know it's illegal but you couldn't see more than 2 ft in any direction and I didn't want to get hit from behind). Just turn the kill switch back on and the bike comes back to life.
Yes in the past 35 yrs of riding probably 10 times or so . And that's about how many times I ever used it . It's more of a dumb *** button that could be used for something better. Like open a garage door .

I'll bet not one cop would pull you over for running your hazards in heavy (or moderate) rain. I'm sure he would be thinking "That's a smart biker trying to stay visible in bad conditions".

I agree....worthless and never use it. I have never hit it while on the road but have accidently hit it while getting off the bike with heavy gloves on.
