How very sanctimonious of you to type that.
Used motorcycles are sold "as is" and any *emptor* that fails to
*caveat* is a fool.

Used motorcycles, like virtually anything else that's bought and sold,
are most definitely *not* sold "as is" unless so stated, or unless the
advert makes absolutely no claims whatsoever as to condition and the
seller says not a word during the selling procedure. Which is a rare
event.
Wiki (you know how to do that) the law of contract.

The solution is obvious. If you own a bike with a side stand interlock then
for safety's sake destroy it and buy a bike with a "Jiffy Stand". <g>

agricultural equipment just like moto guzzi's.

New spring?
You're probably the type who strips his hairdryer down to its basic
components when it fails and later discovers it's the fuse that blew.
