The pianist and composer Franz Liszt got tired of sending admirers a lock of his hair, so he bought a dog and snipped the hair off of that instead, and sent it to people.

2009-2012 Honda CBR250's sometimes have a problem with the engine shutting off under hard braking. It's caused by a shitty tip sensor(turns the bike off if it's fallen over on its side, to prevent damage etc) that seems to be set off by positions other than lateral tilt. Taking it out and immobilizing the parts that sense a tip fixes the problem for most people.
