Runaway bikes

Did you guys ever have any bad experiences with bikes rolling away on the fast idle after the rider fell off? (What I call the involuntary ghost ride) It happened to us a few times with semi-bad consequences but I realize it could have been alot worse.

you could always go with a kill switch with a long cord for when you are doing the fast idle tricks .

I've seen several people recently doing that... Good idea, but I know I'd get lazy about using it

Jeremy from east coast wxtremes fell doing a circle wheelie and the bike landed upright and rode 100ft into a fence at like 15 mph- minimal damage but pretty funny. Now he has a kill switch on it.

Yeah I put a switch like that on my bike after seeing my friends bike crash into his parked truck. I tried to flip the engine switch off as the bike rolled by me but it was going too fast so I missed it. Now me and him both have kill switches.
