Good thing Yamahas have the engine kill wired into the side stand!

It is incredible that on XXI century there are bikes with no engine killed like a safeguard to avoid to leave the sidestand extended

Ouchies...

That first guy kinda had the whole "Jesus that was embarrassing - I'll make a joke out of it and pretend it's all cool, look at me, ha ha ha wasn't that silly?"
The next guy never came back to the bike which makes me think he was like "Get me the fuck to a hospital"  Either way sucks big time.

I gotta say even with the kill switch I have OCD about the kickstand - if my foot touches the ground for any reason, before I select 1st my foot also does a little nudge backwards to feel the kickstand in it's retracted position.. That was something drummed into me by my old man when he taught me to ride..

Touch wood I've never done ridden off with it down on any bike, but I have done the opposite once - dismounted with lowering it!! My secret shame, I was by myself in my driveway...   :dash1: So mad at myself! No harm done though, except to my pride  :good2:

Too bad no one took that opportunity to show him how to pick up a fallen bike by himself. :blum2:

Hola Klavdy

I´m very happy that you´re recovering good. You gave us a good fright!. I was very worried for you, but I see you gave a kick on the ass to the illness and you´re back as unpolite as ever. We missed you, guy  :good2:

One day, one day... In fact, that is my dream. I´m a lover of the US, the way of life, the freedom values... and I´ve always wanted to go there
Regards
Alf
