But, looking back I realize I was just showing off



Fortunately most everyone here never suffered from such displays of "youthful exuberance". I tipped over the 76 Bonnie leaving a rest area at least 3 mph!! Rear wheel dropped into a gravel rut, next I knew it was laying on it's side. Very embarrassing, fortunately no one saw this and I never told anyone.

Another time I was in full park uniform regalia and the stupid bike wouldn't start. Bikes that don't start are always stupid. I kicked and kicked, tweaked the choke, kicked some more, fiddle with the fuel valve, kick some more, tickled the amals, kick some more. Not even a hint of spark. Stupid bike! After 30 minutes I noticed the toggle "kill" switch appeared to be in the down position. Flipped it up, one kick ~ purring, I motored away like nothing unusual. It was 2 am and no one saw this and I never told anyone.
