    My old man had one of these when I was about 12 (many moons ago :blush: ) I started it with the wierd sideways kicker which was a bit of an achievment and rode it around the backyard for about 20 minutes. The only problem was I didnt know how I was going to stop it,and put it back the way the ol man left it. another 10 minutes later I had to stop her somehow, so I eased her up alongside the paling fence, I must have picked the only spot that had rusty nails holding the palings on and went straight thru the bloody thing with a 280 kg bloody russian monster squashing my leg on the bottom rail :blush: Luckily the neighbor was home and helped me up. He also fixed the fence before dad got home :laugh: I ended up mowing his lawn for the next month .

    not the first not even the tenth diesel powered motorcycle made…

    the iron curtain countries and others had diesel bikes way back.

    See every generation likes to think it is the first…..

    and almost any diesel (correct me TB if I am wrong) can with little effort be made to run on other fuels

    Carry a spare clutch lever, a front brake you do without, clutch lever less so.

    Spare chain joining link on front brake cable, oldy but a goody for everyone else but me.

    Good to see, bout time someone got back into true big-bore smoking, on the expansion chamber thing I have done a few in over the years, but never squished one badly in one go, it’s all about timing and technique…

    put a few tyres in the backyard and practice, if you can’t loft a 2t over something like a tyre… well need I say any more.:(

    go the huskies, only problem with them is hit & miss QA lately
