Does anyone use this? Any other options to keep the bike from moving while it's parked? I would hate to have some kids try to sit on the bike while parked and accidently knock it off the kick stand. I have always kept my ICE bikes in gear.

I use a piece of green Velcro-like material strapped around my front brake to keep it locked in place on a sloped parking area. You can buy a cheap roll of this stuff at a hardware or nursery store.  It is used to strap plants to supporting stakes.

I had a Honda CB750 automatic and it had a parking brake.  Honestly, I never used it, never really needed to. I suppose if a kid got on the zero, it could move but when I tested mine at the dealer, I tried to move it with kick stand down and it really didn't budge.

I bought one but have never used it as it is relatively flat around here.

Thanks for having that along, Richard!  You taught me a new trick on Saturday.

(Of course, the next time I lead a group, I'll know to pick a flatter place to park.)

Oh, this thing?  http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=205

Huh.  There are keyed versions that look useful as a theft deterent.  I'd probably get one of those, use it to remind myself of my brake disk lock.
