Hey Phil - that means you are walking away from your bike without your key!

Yeah. Actually I seldom take my key out of the ignition. I have a better chance of losing the key somewhere than I do having the bike stolen.:wink:

The only times I take out the key is when I need it to unlock the seat/helmet lock, or its sitting overnight at a strange location, outside...like at a motel.
