My brother in law had a 883 Harley, went to start it in front of a bunch of people, nonchalantly stood beside it, turned it on, hit the button...........it was in gear and shot off the stand straight onto it's side. Surprised he told me about it as we all rip it out of him for his choice.
Saw at the local bike meat the weekend, original red Guzzi Le mans, well used with stickers from bike meats around Europe on it, a very nice old thing and the v twins all sound sound so good.
