If you have AAA they should cover the haul cost. Your insurance may also. If they say it was not a roadside haul, push it out to the street.
Either you haven't been riding as long as I thought or your memory is starting to fade. I'm guessing the "no cranking with the kill switch off" took place about the same time as the sidestand ignition lock. My early '80's Hondas have neither of those features.
As to PC problems, there have been more reported strandings caused by Power Commanders than by KiPass, but fortunately the PC failures do not seem to provoke the vitriol.

Are you getting any error at all on the display? It almost sounds like a cam sensor is bad... but you'd think you'd fire an error code for that.
AAA will not touch a motorcycle (tow, jump, anything at all) is the member has the standard AAA membership. I understand there is a rider that is available to go with an AAA membership but it is for RV's or something similarly strange (buying an RV rider to cover a motorcycle is odd to me).
I have no idea how long you think I have been riding a motorcycle. I don't really want to guess either....I figured you'd been riding for about 30 years.
I have owned and ridden quite a few bikes without a side stand interlock but have never seen a Japanese bike that will crank but not have spark when the kill switch is in the 'OFF' position. As I said though, I have not seen / ridden / worked on / seen demonstrated / every Japanese bike ever made.
Now about mentioning the <k-word>, I am rather surprised you did that. You are the first one to do so in this thread and you know how it tends to attract.... er, that undesirable element. So if that happens, it is on your head this time.

As you wish. It just surprises me that you never saw a 4 cylinder Gold Wing. Or a CX/GL v-twin. Or a sohc CB750. Or a dohc CB750. Or CB550. Or any Honda made prior to 1984. Or perhaps any later Honda - I'm pretty sure my Nighthawk S would spin the starter with the kill switch off - maybe ask Dan Bergman, as he still has one. All my old bikes are/were Hondas, so IDK what the other mfgs did.

I think that's because Capt'n Bob didn't get stranded by a PC, at least that I know of. I'm positive he will correct me if I'm wrong.
Me too! But mine ran just long enough to get me about a mile down the road! It's not fun pushing this monster!

Although there have been a quite a few power commander failures on the C14's. It is not even close to people who have had KIPASS problems. With all do respect Clyde. Your so full of crap it's coming out your ears! How can you even say that with a straight face! Show me your numbers Clyde. Document or retract! After putting up with your BS in the past. I sat here for an hour one day and did a quick search (kipass failures) of people who had had KIPASS problems. Some just a short stranding until they got it working again others on the trailer to the dealer. I quoted about 40 people before I stopped posting. So as you have said in the past document or retract! Too bad you won't see this since I'm sure you have me blocked!
There now you have some vitriol. Of course you tend to bring it on yourself! But to be fair, so do I!

Nice job Clyde! Now you have Godzilla awake and stomping and smashing his way through the downtown forum. Sure, we can call out the army, navy, moderators, and air force but like in the movie, it won't do any good- he'll just keep on destroying everything in his path with his atomic breath. The only thing that can save us is the Dr. Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer!
Godzilla is a combination of two Japanese words: Gorira, meaning 'KiPass', and Kurija, meaning 'hater'.
KiPass- the gift that keeps on giving.
and.... chuckle.

Nice to have you back Brian.
