so your the guy i saw push starting ; p

no really though that sucks, i dont think id do it. i could see myself now running along side and suddenly the bike starts up and goes flying off without me. id rather get a jump start than that risk. look for the nearest low rider they always have a trunk of batterys ;)

Jump starting from a car or other bike will be your only choice a half century from now, push or bump starting will be no longer be an option. :lol: :cry: :cry:

Damn! I can feel my heart exploding now, along with a few of the veins in my head.

No way would I even attempt that at my age.

I tried to push start once by myself...never again!! You're a brave man. Bravo! Now hopefully this won't happen anytime soon again... :roll:

At least you can fill your desire to ride by going to every motorcycle shop and taking test rides! :P
