I have a bunch of Triumphs from 1954 through 1972 and they are all 1 kick bikes. Tickle the carb and kick it once and off I go. Some times I may have to kick it 2 or 3 times dead cold. I like the longevity of the new machines but I like a kick start, points, carb ticklers, and the valve adjustment was soooooo much easier on the old twins.



Absolutely!!! I do not miss the oil leaks and vibration. Please do not misunderstand, I really like the way this BA handles and rides, its just a bear on cold starts. Obviously I am not alone. Thanks, great post.
