Well they are less likely to stand there messing with it especially if they have no clue about bikes and find neutral and then push it over....or generally act the maggot.

I'll take my chances with people messing with it. It doesn't happen that often to me. But if I parked in gear I know I'd end up trying to start the engine with it still in gear all the time.

Once is more than I am willing to tolerate.

Maliciously no, but it will make it a lot harder for someone without the clue to do it. If nothing else it will prevent it from rolling should one even just lean on it.

Hell yeah, out on a spin once and some parents wanted to put their not so little lad on a bike. When taking him off the bike was pushed forward coz they were a pair of numpties....Did not hit the deck put was mighty close.

No imagine you were not there and this happened. What if the "young" lad decided to try it on his own and bike fell on him... Who would be to blame??

All this is just hypothetical but I would rather not find out what if! In any case, everyone do it as they see fit, not as if there is a right and a wrong way of doing this.

In gear, just safer.

Went neutral for years ( except when parking on a hill ). Though I have changed to leaving it in gear most of the time, since having it blow over last January. I'll never know for certain if it would have made any difference, but think it might have.

After reading this thread, I think people who park in neutral are just better people in general than those that leave it in gear. You's "gearsies" just can't handle the carefree relaxed lifestyle and attitude of the neutrals.
