did it again in the dark this morning - out in the boonies!
3 seconds of a thrill - until I remember to flick it the other way down there in the dark!
A regular habit of mine every couple of years. The Piaggio is silent during "kill", while my Kymco LIKE200i will merrily crank away just like it is going to start.....but never will.
Really sharp star this morning. Planet I suspect.

That happened to me once in the short time I owned a Like200. I stopped to fill up with gas and mistakenly hit the kill switch. When I wanted to leave, the engine turned over great, but no start. I almost killed the battery before I finally woke up and looked at the kill switch and saw that it was engaged. Felt like a dope. Facepalm emoticon

The school is way out in the boonies.
