I think the loving chat had more to do with the BSA starting than you kicking the kick start


Sounds good did you go for a potter?

I see you treat your bikes like your woman
Kick her a couple of times
Tickle her
turn her over
get her warm
then turn her off and leave her to it


Seriously mate she looks and sounds cracking would love to come and have a look when it's warmer

its getting there,lost a bit of interest in it if im honest.
will still keep it but will finish it off after the bandit and kwak.

Sounds nice. Definitely a different sound to all the modern bikes, even with all the modern cans, the older ones are distinctive . My Dads old Norton sounded fantastic. Could never hear mine for the sound of the straight throughs on it
