Sacha Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Road rash queen. I've read her story before and definitely think twice anytime I think about riding without gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I don't remember any bikes having side stands when I started riding, at least not mine or any of my mates, but then it could be just a date of birth thing, you know date of birth too long ago. I dont know what age you are Meat, but my 59 Triumph has one as standard, and the 55 Triumph I owned years ago had one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Jimmy I'm a bit older than your triumph's and I wish my 56 BSA that I had back in the late 60's had one,I was the original 7 stone weakling back then and it took me ages to to get the hang of rolling her back just right so I could just flip her up on the stand. I'm not saying they weren't around, I just don't remember seeing any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2014 My 1965 Yamaha YA-6 has both the side and main stands. I don't know much about British iron but I thought bikes went from mainly main stands to mainly side stands and then a little of both. Back in the early seventies my first bike was side stand only and my next was both - I think - but it was a long time ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Same gear all year long joe rocket kevlar over pants and jacket,I just change what I wear under if it's hot shorts and a tee shirt the gear has enough venting to be ok in the city,but I tend not to ride in the city as much as possible.And keep adding layers as the temp cools. Seen far to much road pizza to even think about going out without,and I shudder when I see people without gear on.Ity's also rule #1 in this house NO GEAR NO RIDING! my son knows I dont care if your only moving the bike to the trailer, push it or gear up or loose it Only done the full leathers on track days. Stand on the left ? I think it just like the standard shift pattern 1 down 4-5 up people are used to it so they just do it that way.I rode a old brittish bike years ago with the oppsit shift pattern once and hated it. And sure if they moved the stand to the right I wouldn't like that either, probably wouldn't buy the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
