Re: Dumb rules/laws

[Gord Hooker <ghooker@xxxxxxxx>]

Yup, that's dumb. 

What was wrong with the old way, i.e. if you put it in gear with the
sidestand down, the engine quits?

The unfortunate thing is that because of the rediculous functioning of that
switch, many owners will bypass it.

Regards,

Gord.
