[timeless]

I have that happen

quite often when I am pushing up on the Resume switch, my thumb slips off and inadvertently hits the kill switch!!!!!!!!!!!!

No need to wear gloves down here in the desert but I keep hitting the horn button instead of the turn signal.

Yep, done that too. But then I just give a big "Gomer Pyle Wave" to the person in front of me and pretend like it was on purpose.

That's what I have done several times. And, each time, the horn startles me! pps:

Decided to play some hooky from my work and go on a nice morning ride while the weather is nice. I tried out my super-duper new winter gloves...a little bulky but very warm. Fumble-Fingered Hank accidentally hits the kill switch while reaching for the cruise control button....on the freeway! :yikes: Luckily I wasn't in a heavy traffic area and could pull over to the shoulder without an incident.

Fess-up. Am I the only one this has happened to? :banghead: I blame it on the gloves, naturally.

I've hit the kill switch & didn't realize it & moving in 30 mph traffic--people honking--& I'm wondering why the engine quit running. Took me several seconds to realize what happened. I've had several motorcycle & never had that problem. I'm thinking the kill switch should be moved 1/2" & eliminate the possible problem.

On a group ride, stopped for gas and "someone" must have hit the kill switch. Everyone ready to go and I have a dead bike.....panic.... Turn ignition off and on again, hit mode button and start several times, foot on brake, foot on brake harder.... Repeat. Nothing. Radio other riders that I am dead. After about an eon in time (actually probably closer to 30 seconds) diagnosed and fixed the problem. Continued down the road muttering to myself.....

A few years ago when I had my Goldwing out of the blue one day the audio volume dropped real low. Couldn't figure what went wrong. Even had another rider plug his headset in to see if my headset had gone bad. Later at home I noticed that when I set my helmet over the handlebar it had pushed the mute button in!
