With my shovelhead, the number of kicks required is in direct proportion as to how many people are watching.
Ain't that the truth.Gettin thrown damn near over the handlebars is always a good time as well. Electric start for me.

Back when I drove the SR 500, I would turn on the gas, flip the key on, pull the compression release lever, slowly kick it over until I saw the silver cup though the window, release the compression release lever and give it a kick and hope she starts.............now I just hit the button.
