Thanks, it was my old fella's but it got passed onto me once he got himself a bsa a75, its a bit easyer to kick over for him as years of booting over old bikes has left his knee's abit fragile!

really enjoy riding it, and it sounds the tits! Very Happy

its kicked back a few times, hasnt really been that bad, whats worse is getting it on the wrong stroke, and loosing compression mid swing, then your leg fully locks out! now that hurts!

and yeah, boyers are crap! next time it spits the dummy out its going straight in the bin and im fitting a Tri-spark.
