Nine comments about not starting it on the side stand. I have been starting mine on the side stand every day for 32 years, when should I start worrying about not doing it?

@HaggisPowah Amen Brother, and well said.........Vincent's are beautiful as are all British bikes but the guy starting this is not putting his ALL into this. The Norton 850 Commando is a man's bike. Crikey......grandmothers ride Harley's!!

Cool video. Never heard of Vincent.

How could anyone Not Like Vincents??? Are they insane?

[HaggisPowah]

holy shit - if he ever tried that on my 1972 Norton Commando, he'd get catapulted over the trees! If your legs aren't long enough to reach the ground so you can start it properly, you shouldn;t be riding the damned thing. Oy frickin ve!

I used to do that. The way to get off quick back in the day was to keep it parked on the side stand, jump on it and kick it, and take off while kicking up the side stand. But after a while, the sidestand begins to fatique. Luckily, they are usally soft enought to warn you. I don't do it at all on the bikes I have now.
