My 1982 Yamaha Maxim 650 was all rigged up.
I had no money to fix the broken key switch in college, so I bypassed it and had a copper wire to insert to “turn the key on”
But, since the handlebar start button was also missing I used the actual key to short the start button contact with the surrounding metal to “press the start button”.
So, yes, I hot-wired my own bike every day to get to campus…
before I dropped out in favor of a full time IT consultant and instructor position.
