RE: Basic Safety Features?
I have had vehicles with those features and yes, I disabled them. Safety is between the ears. Personally, I don't need a friggin' lawyer to protect me from myself.

RE: Basic Safety Features?
the question was more out of curiousity than it was a complaint or a request for those features. now if i had actually started it and it lurched forward into the middle of an nyc street, lifting up the jiffy stand on its way, and falling over on its side while being run over by a cab, then i might be complaining. normally i am seated on the bike when i start it and i habitually make sure its in neutral and pull the clutch in, etc but in this one instance i was standing next to it when i went to start it so i guess myhabits didnt kick in. either way, i got my answer,apparently its what most hd riders want as opposed toMOCO notbothering to consider it which is what i was really wondering

that being said, i want to say thanks and my problem is now solved because i will never forget the torching i got over this every time i go to start my scoot.
BB, you just happen to post something like this when I was on full torch mode. Must be that general section I go to and have to sift through all those ridiculous polls (What kind of TP do you use?), stupid question (yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question), and troll bait (Why don't you like Hondas?). Not to mention the "Why can't we just get along?"--"I wave at everyone! Yippee!--"I like all bikes!"--"It's not what you ride it's that you ride" bulltucky.
Yeah, yeah, applications for ambassador positions are available at the U.N. I like your BMW boxer, your Triumph, your Indian, your Victory, your CB400, and some others. Heck, even the Wing.
But yourYamahondakawasuki VulcanstarC2000? You deserve derision. [sm=badbadbad.gif]
Harleys are definitely not like other bikes and for that I'm thankful.
Looking at your sig tells me you got your scoot running pretty good. My little rambling was directed at the whole lot of recent riders, newbies, and first time HD owners whose comments might makeone want to take their moco doo rag and slap them silly with it.

But I still don't want "nerd alert" switches on my HD.

Speaking of saftey features,
Can you beleive my WG cost as much as my wifes Escape and her truck has seatbelts and airbags, Why the hll didn't I get those with my bike???
Seriously, those are not saftey features those are idiot protectors, no offense but if you can't remember to put up the jiffy stand before riding or pulling in the clutch unless the bike is in neutral maybe motorcylcing isn't for you.
These "saftey features" should be removed along with warning labels on products that are replacing common sense these days. It would help thin the herd a little.

its easy to see that HD forum lets some bash others for having a question that may be a big concern for him or her. I dont see anyone saying get your head out of your a$$ for how much oil your bike holds or some other questions.
