    It's always a problem when you take the rubber off.

    Running Backwards

    seems i'm not believed about this one, from the amount of piss taking LOL, but I swear its true, and if you think about it on a 2 stroke, no valves and shit, so it just a matter of timing as to when the spark plug lights up to determine which way the engine runs and if its 180Deg out well then it runs backwards, in other words the piston is going down when it should be coming up, (oh I can't wait to see how this piss gets taken out of me now for posting this)

    I believe you - just wait til Ixion finds this and tells his stories about running two-strokes backwards (I think he might have run them backwards more often than he's run them forwards...)
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Hey man dont worry about it, I have seen it happen before. Out playing on trials bikes when my brothers fantic semi stalls as we come to a stop, We chatted a while discussing next play spot with the engines idling. Race you there I said to my bro, he then dropped the clutch, already in gear, and went flying over the bars as the bike went backwards. Brilliant WTF? look on his face as I pissed myself laughing. Talking to others afterward we were told that it can and does happen in two strokes.
    The quiet scares me cause it screams the truth.
