Jiffy Stand shutoff switch
How many times did you have to tell one of your buddies or one of them tell you when driving off......."hey you forgot to rise your jiffy stand" Is there a good reason why HD doesn't install a cutoff switch if you start rolling with the stand down?

All bikes have had a safety swtich for sometime
Its a federal regulation.
After you make a left turn with yours down, and pick your *** off the gorund once. You learned to remember to bring it up.
I quess people are too stupid to do it operate a kick stand now

I was really hoping that my new Tundra was going to have a safety switch to keep me from driving off with the door open. I do have to put it in gear before I can drive away though, that's a cool feature...

I've been a Chevy man my whole life, my last truck was a Silverado, however, I can't stand what they've done to the looks of their trucks lately. I also drove an 08 Silverado on a long trip and was disapointed. I bought the Tundra because 381 hp and 401 tq. I have an enclosed trailer to pull for my business and need the towing capacity. I hate to admit it, but the Toyota seems to be better built than the Silverado at this point. If I'm going to spend that much money, I want something in return. Never thought I would be saying that, but the proof is in the pudding.
