Here are some pics of our annual run of kick start bikes
Had a great morning out with old mates about 20 old kick start bikes turned up and a few modern ES bike tagged along, was only a morning run from my mates place at Shorncliffe out too Clear Mountain through the back roads then to Dayboro, up the Mt. Mee range, a stop at the D'Aguilar pub then back home through some more back twisty roads, 3 1/2 hr run and home at 12:30 for lunch.
2 old Indians, 4 Tridents, a few Triumph twins, 4 BSA twins, 2 old school Shovelhead Harley chopper and a few old Harley's, I was on the only Norton, my kick stand broke so had to lean it on a post when stopped lol, the old Norton hadn't been run for a few months (wife eye OPs and health problems) wouldn't start at first till I drained the oil out of the crank then it fired up on second kick but once out the old Norton fired up on first kick every time and ran great without missing a beat, but it will be back to normal riding with it so no chance of wet sumping.
Got caught in some light rain after leaving the pub and getting pulled up for breath test at Mt. Mee before the pub.
A great morning out with old mates, can't get any better than that.
