Sidestand Bolt Snaps

[Skeeve]

Parking at certain hill angles will also prove threatening, as will people(usually kids) hopping on bike without permission. <_>

For every time I came back and found the bike in gear, there is a good chance the bike could have been knocked over.

My V65 used to be a magnet for such activity. Good thing it also had a center stand.

 

So park the bike in gear; kills the "rolls off sidestand" problem in its tracks...

 

Get a bike alarm w/ a remote & one of those "stop barks" dog collars & wire'em up to your bike so that the alarm de/activates the dog collar, and the dog collar shocks anyone jostling the bike. Hey, I just came up w/ a marketable product! Gimme back my idea!...

Yes. It came as a kit from Motomecca here in the UK. The only downside is that I now can't let the bike idle on the sidestand, as the 1100 doesn't have the neutral over-ride.

A small price to pay.

Good idea.

I could also hook the bike up to bypass the ignition wire current at ~20,000V to the taint area of the saddle whenever the sidestand is down and engine is running

But then again, I could end up being my own victim

The dog collar sounds safer
