Kickstarting by hand

[Mailman]

Real men kickstart their bikes by hand…..well at least this Canadian did. Robin from Ontario, could start this bike pictured , by hand. I’m still amazed.

Too soon gone, never forgotten, our old friend.

Well there are the big Guys with Muscles with low compression bikes
I am small and once did it on a better compressed bike ..During service ignition timing --- got the kick back and I will never try it again
It took a while before the elbow felt up in shape again.
