I've always used the kill switch (taught by my husband and my MSF teachers), glasses off, helmet off, glasses on, key off and onto my carabiner to my wallet.

My owners manual says to go to neutral and key off, because using the kill switch doesn't turn off the lights, resulting in dead battery.

I looked at a couple of different one's.
Best I remember, "they" were mighty proud of them.
I remember looking at them and then saying to myself, "Self, you will haul that around for thousands of miles and never put it on the bike/trike. Just save your money for BBQ and cobbler!"

They would be safer from the perspective that you're much less likely to try to ride off with one still attached. But as Andy pointed out, it can be defeated more easily. However, I know I wouldn't ride a bike without a front brake, but then again I wouldn't ride a stolen bike either!

I'm surprised it never caught on with motorcycles. The clamp on style is a nice alternative since it is not built into the bike like it is on snowmobiles.

Leaving it in gear is VERY important!!

I've seen that. Some guys use a little Velcro strap.
