I use it more than the key really. But having ridden off road so much I suspect it's from that, not having any other way to kill the bike.

Yep. Coming up to a roundabout on my old Thundercat and the clutch cable went snap. Hit the kill switch and coasted to a stop.

Yes. For doing mahoosive backfires to scare mates and passers by.
I used to love going past people and "shooting" them with my fingers while doing a killswitch backfire.
