Hello,
There have been a couple instances when, while I'm riding, my knee hits my keys and turns off the ignition/engine. Anyone else run into this? I just got my Buddy about a month and a half ago and, luckily, have just been learning to ride in a parking lot when this has happened.
I plan to take it in to get a tire change in the next few weeks and would ask about this ignition thing then.
Thanks!

I've definitely thought about this, never had it happen though. Either sit back further, as suggested, or splay your legs out wide so your knees are nearly handlebar width. Proooobably not super safe, but neither is your engine turning of at speed.
Always ready to ride in the Philly area, hit me up.
