Got a brand new, chinese bike delivered to our front door in a crate. Bike Whisperer (bloke) starts assembling it, without reading instructions. Yeeeaaarrs of experience, obviously - no need to read instructions.
Bike complete. Doesn't start. Try lots of things. Still doesn't start. Starts taking bike apart. Get electric meter out. Starts testing. Following wires, removing more bits. Finally surmises that bike is faulty.
NO LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER, I (female) decide to look at instructions (secretly, since it won't do to double guess male ego).
Instructions says (in big red letters):
IMPORTANT: MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT START WHILST SIDE STAND IS DOWN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Bloody Chinese bikes!
