Street Tracker
Yeah, it does Rich, but this Bonneville was in neutral and the sidestand was up. I was sitting there like a complete n00b, repeatedly stabbing at the starter button, and nothing was happening. :d The owner pulled the clutch lever and it fired right up.:shrug:
I would have been sitting on the bike just like you wondering why it won't start. I've never owned a bike that I've needed to pull the clutch in to start. My '05 Bonneville is the newest bike I've owned.
I'm sure at some point the lawyers got involved and mandated the features to protect us from ourselves.
