I put My wife on my Daughter's 50... Large flat area, Bike still had the traininhg wheels on it.
Auto clutch the whole 9... She promptly ran into the only Rock (about 3ft. in Dia.) within easily 200 sq yards.
(my Daughter was 4, I didn't want her to have a bad time as this would probably be a deciding factor as to whom I would ride with after my boys moved on)
Directly after running dead center of this small boulder, she stands up, turns around, turns the throttle open to the throttle stop and yells what's wrong with this thing... The boys are Yellin "MOMMa Let go! Let go of the Gas!!"
What? What's wrong with this thing are you trying to Kill Me?!
Well If I wasn't a church go'er... the thought has crossed my mind a time or two in the past 21 yrs...
But I digress...
We get her straightened out and then she rides right into a telephone pole...THE ONLY TELEPHONE POLE... :x
That's it. You're Done--- Do NOT Under any circumstances Touch any power equipment. No Motorcycles,
NO LawnMowers, Weedwhackers God Forbid my Chainsaws I don't even want you to use the Blender!..
So, No...If I can't get a riding buddy I have to plonk around on my own. Well, I do Always have My Co-Pilot... :-D

Not long after I was discoverd in kitchen with engine in bits on 'her' kitchen table, our old delappidated shed started to leak water so I moved the whole darn thing(it was scrupiously clean!) into the kitchen for 3 months til I got round to sorting the shed.......
I can sleep with one eye open now..... :wink:

hey guys i finally got my bike back and it runs like a raped ape. i love the bike, but the only problume i am having is that its extreamly hard to kick start and i am a 300lb guy i shouldnt have that much truble. but it fires right up when we pull start, could it have some thing with the magneto maybe a weak spark?
Friar-Tuck:
Soory I missed this post Lo-
What do you have for Jetting & Timing ? KwakMan has an earlier bike and has helped several other guys, maybe we can drag him in on the case :-D
I posted some specs for the electronics in my gallery if you want to Ohm out the coil and CDI.
There is a bit of a ritual I use for starting big bore singles.
(There is probably as many opinions on starting as there are on pre-mix and tranny oils.)
Have a look through the "best way to start" thread. I'll modify my post there to bring it a bit up to date, but see if there is something there you can use.
I'm 5'8 and 240 and can get her lit, we should be able to get you going too. I would love to get a compression release, as that has proven to be the ticket for the Bro's who had it done.
However, "Those thrills cost money" as my old man would say...
