Leave it in first and cut the engine,

Harley riders don't need to worry fuss with that, so we can leave the
bikes in neutral when parked if we like (which is what I always do).

We have REAL kickstands to match our bikes.

I was showing my buddy Tom how the locking stand works on my Street
Glide before loaning it to him.

He scratched his head, looked dumbfounded for a few seconds, then
blurted "Why the *** isn't EVERY sidestand like that?"

Good question!

Maybe because, although the other manufacturers would like to, they
can't because Harley owns the patent to the jiffy stand.

Ah! I had no idea it was patented. Of course, they could purchase a
license to use the patented idea from the patent holder.... ooops.
Just realized what I was writing.

Never mind!
