huh?  maybe you get to decide where you have your accidents due to
inattentiveness, but most people don't.  that's what inattentiveness
_means_.

oh sure, and those are always safe, right?  like i said -- i'd rather
scratch my head wondering why my bike won't start someday.  i hope i'll
be clever enough to check the sidestand switch.  not sure you feel like
you won't be.

the last sidestand-related accident i read about was a woman that went
off an embankment on one of the popular twisty mountain roads near LA or
SF, a couple of years ago.

but like i said, do what you will.
