Harley Panheads (1939-65) with sidecars had jockey shift ( hand shift, foot clutch) and a reverse gear with no safety gate.
A group of us were bar hopping - and Kenny Wilson (deceased) was riding his ratty 59 pan. ( without the sidecar).
We all fired up our bikes (all kick only) and sat at the curb revving engines and being annoying. Gears were grabbed and we all went to take off - Kenny in reverse - up over the curb, across the sidewalk and right into the brick wall of the bar.....
Big yucks were had for weeks as the story was repeated again and again.....
