Couldn't be any worse than a Kawasaki triple round a right hander :oops:
Or a left hander come to think about it :oops:

Well I have got to agree with you about bump starting. (I have never been able to manage that, except with my old C50) :oops:
There can't be many twostrokes that don't have a kickstart? (I am showing my ignorance now, and someone will post a list of 200+)
How about some more photos Gary?
Cheers
Bernie :)

your garage looks a lot like mine : way too small, way too much stuffed in it and way too little room to do any work :mrgreen:

happy for you it runs =D>
