[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 98726, member: 792"] A pleasant ride yesterday came to an early end when the bike wouldn't go. Prior to that, I was on a dual carriageway with a 55 mph limit, but all the cars were going 70, so I was happy to join in. The problem was that all the ears on my C24 plate had sheared off. I've ordered a new one from the Spares Co to get back on the road. Are bump starts rougher on the ears than kick-starting? My driveway has a slope and I used it to start a few weeks ago and I have just dropped the clutch a few times this year when the engine died as I was slowing for a traffic light to restart. If I am abusing it, I want to stop, or is it just one more thing to take a look at every winter? [/QUOTE]
