Sorry, I just want to beat myself in the head everytime someone says 
a pilot is a "driver". But your observation in correct.
My shut off drill goes
Kill switch to off,
Key to off,
Remove key,
Switch kill switch back to run,
Grab front brake for dismount.

store Key.

Mike: I like your shut-off drill, except for the part where gravity
takes 
over with the side stand undeployed.
 
Oh, and:
 
I disliked the term "driver" for "pilot", too, until I got a little more

comfortable with my own ego. Then I could refer to myself as a "C-141
Driver." I 
still didn't care for civilians talking that way, but as a slightly
tongue in 
cheek, self-deprecating way I considered it humorous. I guess it is ok
if you 
know the difference and use it in humor, but it is not if someone uses
the term 
in ignorance. Not unlike some of the things we say about motorcycles.
