i will say it again, there is nothing better than bringing some old basket case back to life and getting it to a point where she starts in 1 or 2 kicks. It is so cool to walk out of a bar have a bunch of guys standing around the bike and she fires right up.


Hey Moose and Rockbottom,
Once, and only once, in front of an audience my Bonnie started went I barely touched the kicker. I guess one of the pistons was in the perfect spot, and when I slightly moved the pedal the points (remember them) opened or closed, sent the spark and she lit. My audience (and I) were impressed.

I had a triumph chopper kick back and stuff my knee into the corner of a then cool set of flanders Z bars... fractured knee cap. I had to use my left leg to kick bikes for a year before I could use my right leg without pain... I had an old 86 inch shovel down to a 1 kick bike, and I refused to use the electric start... The theory was that if I was too drunk to kick the bike, I was too drunk to ride....I am not sure how I lived through those days
