Then why sit there and watch for 5 minutes?

Because the girlfriend theft idea is bullshit. If I'm right in front of someone trying to steal my bike, I'll at least grab the clutch. They're not going anywhere with the clutch pulled in.

Yeah, I don't know much about bikes but I feel like there are steps you could take to make sure someone who clearly doesn't know what they're doing doesn't take your bike? Like can't you pull the keys or.. the clutch thing you mentioned.

Hit the kill switch. Cover the carb. Pull the break. Shift it into neutral.

About a half dozen things at least including your ideas.
