Can you imagine a "run away" Valkyrie?

That's too funny! The thing did look like a bull and one who was pissed at the crowd.

I don't think Harleys have them either. A couple months ago, parked in a Pancake house parking lot waiting for some friends, some guy and his wife on a Harley turned in to the lot, went to make a sharp turn to park and laid it down. Then the bike started doing donuts while on its side with both of them still on the bike, he still had the throttle open and it was spinning the rear tire. I managed to catch the kill switch and shut it off. I know it was not funny to him, but I almost lost it.

Back when I worked hill climbs they required a fill switch tied to the driver, driver falls off bike kills.

When TrickyDick and Kathy's Valkyrie went down hard on the left side near Deer Arkansas on the chicken or pig guts, the bike, after hard dumping then took off down the road and up an embankment.
He was no more than 50 feet in front of me when he went down, I went hard right and stopped just before the turn he had been setting up for.
I think it was me Griz and Taz and a few others backed the bike out of the weeds and onto the road before the police got there
Hope nobody got hurt in the stands, that was freaky
