This thread just cracks me the f&ck up.

If Harley is so anally attentive about proper safety (meaning flip the kill switch first to keep your hands on the bars), then why the f&ck can my Fatboy be startedIN gear, WITHOUTthe clutch being pulled in for SAFETY!!!????????
Good point. Cause it ain't got no safety limit switch on it,, it should have one,,, same as the kick stand,,, forget to kick it up and the bike will start,,, first turn to the left might take you down if it doesn't fold up.
LOL, no safety switches needed - helps weed out the ones who should be walkin'!
Is that why I by pass my lawn mower seat limit switch and the bar limit cable on my hand mower,, so I can weed out my yard???
