Innovation from Harley Davidson. Can't believe it took twenty years of motorcycling to figure this out. Before this, I guess motorcycles just laid on their sides...

  2. It's kinda' like a corkscrew or a stoplight... you just feel like it's always been there, but it's good to remind yourself that somewhere, sometime, somebody showed up with the first one.
