Don't give a rats arse about the "safety" feature, just dose my head in. You'd need to be some kind of tool to leave in gear when trying to start it!

Or an even larger tool not to pull in the clutch when starting ;)
Bike is always left in gear when parked on any uneven surface. Car is always left in gear when parked
