Same here.
Pre-1960, many bikes had a throttle grip that was not returning by itself.
There is a very important safety mechanism made mandatory by many governments after that time: the self-closing throttle.
"Twist-grip throttle (Right handlebar): Must be self-closing to idle in a clockwise direction after release of hand."
You are going back 50 years, guys!!
