Dave should have his new Sherco tonight, just in time for the return of winter. Boy does that suck. EH

Jealous eh?

I forgot that 2 strokes have a kick back.
I tried to start it, got some kick back and slamed my knee into the handlebars.

I guess I need some lessons and quick. Know anyone?

I even talked to Outlaw Dave about knee pads and he reassured me that he never wears em. I think I could hurt myself in the Michelin man costume.

Smarty pants had to buy the 2.9. Proper method is to bring the kick-starter up to top, put small amount of pressure on it, then come down with all your weight. Do not stab at it, like on regular dirt bike, it will stab back HEE-HEE

Thanks for the advise. I'll be remembering that for a week or so....at least.

What about the next thing? Can you advise me before I learn the hard the way?
