Ducati John. Thanks for the info, much obliged
Bradders. Its because you're so much further south, closer to the equator, therefore its warmer and you oil is thinner so easier to start. (Actually theres an idea, because of the rocker wear issue instead of using 15/50 which most people prefer to 10/40, i've been using EP90 gearbox oil as engine oil as it'll be more viscous

)
Rattler, it does have an alarm/immobilisor so i'll try that as well. In fact i may take the John Cleese approach if it ever happens again and trash it with a branch from a tree just like Fawlty Towers
