Are you changing your biking wants/needs over time as technology progresses? or stuck in a time warp ?

Attempting to kickstart an old BSA Starfire 250 instantly puts bruises on your shin - about a million points ahead in the character score

You had a it easy...the Bonnie has rearsets, so the RHS footpeg is in the swing of the kicker. You have to fold it up to be able to kick the bike.

If the peg drops half way down mid kick - which it is wont to do - it scrapes all the way along the side of your leg as you complete the swing.

Pah! Most of us grew scraping our shins down these with alarming regularity!

Or that thing - and I've no idea how I did this so often, but I did - where one foot slips off the pedal but the other stays on, so the pedal comes wanging around and wallops you on the shin.
