Before I installed the Alton there is no way...No Way...NO WAY I would have switched off the engine in traffic! And that included back in the day when I had my first Commando, was in my early 20's, thought I was the best motorcycle rider since Mike Hailwood and wasn't afraid of anything...except stalling my Commando in traffic!
Wuss...
Stalled at a traffic light going uphill.. with my girlfriend on the back. Right side passenger footpeg up (to clear the kick lever), hold the front brake, snick into neutral, balance on the wheels, kick start, pillion peg back down for the girl's right foot, find first gear, and pull away before the light changed again. Got thumbs up from the car behind me. I was 24 at the time.
