Simply because I don't know how I ride or what I do when I'm actually riding. To me it's like describing how I walk......it's impossible! So how do you actually ride a bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have only ever owned 1 bike with a kick start in the cg125 A friend of mine used to have a matchless g30 I think it was think it was a 350cc though could have been a 500cc single which was good fun to start. My dad in the 70s had a 1958 velocette venom thruxton 500cc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 There is definitely something satisfying about starting a bike with a kickstarter.....much better than with just a button 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
