After a non-riding week and a bit, found my electric start a bit weakened so had to kickstart it.
First kickstart!
Feel like a real biker now.

You did better than me. Mine wouldn't start the other day so i gave up and took the car.
Awwwwww...
sometimes I couldn't kick start my old Suzuki so I would run down the hill with it and jump on it and let the clutch out - good fun!
Hmmm...maybe next time!
With that kind of luck, I think that was wise.
A while ago I had to resort to trying that with my old SV650, on our gravel drive way, that slopes downhill rather steeply...... didn't work the first time.... or the second time... or the third time... (funny how I didn't get much traction off the gravel aye?) I was completely fu@ked by then. Pushing it back up the hill is bloody tiring. Luckily a passing farmer took pity on me and used his tractor and some jumper leads to get me going again. A kick start would have been a nice back up option. Although given my luck at that stage, it probably would have kicked back and broken my leg

Crap, I somehow left my lights on and my key in my bike the other day and walked off from it (was in my garage), im sure the insurance company would love that, but anyways I found the next day the battery was dead, it was at that point and time I WISHED for a kick start haha, I never knew how hard it was to bump start a 160kilo sports bike :L
saw a guy trying to bump start an HD at the gas station the other day (insert 'fail' here)
