Rookie Mistake

[Frank47]

Sprained my ankle pretty bad when bike kicked back yesterday evening. Ordered $100 Yaesu battery. Hope that fixes electric start problem. Won't be kick starting for awhile.

Years ago... a buddy did a tune up on his Xs2... points..plugs etc etc .... first kick attempt.... broke his foot...... I have a couple of big one bangers... with compression release.. if you don't get the kick... release the compression lever at the right time.... ya had better be wearing heavy boots.... it hurts...

When I was 12, my dad helped me buy a basket case Zuke PE250 (neither of us had any idea!). Had to stand on a milk crate next to the bike just to get on it. First wrong kick sent me over the handlebars...
