I had a friend of mine introduced me to using the kill switch. At first I was only using it on the weekends. After awhile, I found myself using it a couple of times on the weekdays in addition to the weekend use. It wasn't long after that, I realized I had graduated from recreational use to full time kill switch user. Lost my job, house, wife and bike. Now I sit in a dark room and push a broken rocker switch. Hope a bed opens up soon...........
