Re: Anyone miss the old kickstart?
Got rid of two bikes last year, including one I'd built from bits in a box, but as I can't kick a bike anymore there was no point in keeping them, although watching a mate turn into a blob of sweat trying to start the Armstrong, then walking over and kicking it into life on the first try, is a memory to saver.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Anyone miss the old kickstart?
I do they're brilliant if you don't fancy replacing your battery. Although wouldn't a 650 be difficult to kick?

Re: Anyone miss the old kickstart?
It is possible to make a kickstart that does not kick back.
