Pulled the alphabet twin out of winter hibernation if it runs OK may take two up to open day. Drag rollers out of shed push twin to position before I run her up ramp, I fill with Esso top stuff check I have a tank of R drain sump pop it back in top (clear as spring water) tickle top carb decide to straddle it and do a few kicks with decompressors before I get off and do the big push up onto the rollers (always a pain) then for some silly reason I decide to try a kick the beast half decompressor front pot hisses up to compression on rear full decompressor just over top and leisurely lunge..... JHC! it b****y started first kick!
This could be a strange season.

"Merest brush of a carpet slipper"?

no a proper kick but not my usual arcrobat in the air one leg drop
(in fact I think I should outlaw those in regard to my age) no it was the sort of kick those supremely confident 10000 milers give their steeds in company and ride away....

What I like is when I feel it start midway through the kick.

And then the bastard dies and you are lathered in sweat before it starts again.
