Walked into the garage early Friday morning and it looked like luna park in full swing  ???.
For some reason the 80 GTV's hazard lights were on ... doors locked ... horn not honking ... dumb, I have no alarm  ;D.
Tried switching the hazards off to no avail, ended up disconnecting the battery and taking the supermoto to work  :-\.
Source: The hazard lights switch is in the off position when fully depressed, it is kept in this position by an internal latching system comprised of a pin that keeps a button spring compressed, in my case the metal pin gradually bent releasing the spring and therefore turning the lights on. Fixed the switch this AM and confirmed the battery is OK.

Thanks Choderboy. I was very careful not to stress the metal latch or the plastic onto which it was mounted.
