    Kickstart advice 101

    Don't wear your running shoes when kicking your Bike over !

    Especially a KX500, Foot slipped off the lever and straight through the calf on my right leg.

    Happened to me about 3 weeks ago, stitches out 3 days ago ...

    I'm good, but don't make my mistake ...

    Yikes. Lesson learned. Hope you heal up quick.

    I thought I'd be a hard bastard and start my XR200 with my hand. Little bugger nearly popped my shoulder out.
