Well i now have my own little red button to play with, it's an old 93 across. good learner for me, got it from a mates family so i know it's been looked after.

I know i took my time, but i wanted to wait for the work load @ uni to calm down because i new i'b be out constantly looking.

We need photos of this red button Smitty!

yes...this thread is useless without pics

OK, it's a motor stop button. I am 60 years old. I have had a motorcycle since I was 17. I have NEVER used such a stop button. Has anybody else here ever found it to be handy?

Wait! The above is a lie!! I had a James Cadet with a cut out. Once the throttle cable snapped, I wedged the throttle wide open, and rode it home (through quite heavy traffic) by "bleeping" the ignition.

Anyway, apart from that, has anyone ever used one of these buttons?

I've never used one Ross!

How about this red button

Ok you won

i often use the red button on my bike because if i just want to sit for a few minutes then i can leave the ignition on without the alarm going off and arming itself. also today for example i was riding home from college and a farmer decided it was prime time to let his 200 cows walk for at least 2 miles to the other farm down the road. as it was a long gradual down hill my friend and i decided to swith off our engines and just cruise. so all i did was flick the stop button and go into neutral. my friend who has a moped just switched off the ignition. we cruised down the hill and when we were nearing the bottom rather than using the electric start i kiked it into 1st let the clutch out and it started up. excellent except for the long up hill at snails pace. luckily i have become quite good and biting the clutch and can travel at almost any speed i like as long as its not over 60 because thats the most my bike will do. just thought i would share that with you. highly un-interesting i know. ah well

bloody cows!
