Don't fancy the brakes and I'm guessing that dropping a gear and slipping the clutch wouldn't be too sensible either.

Didn't notice the starter. They should make it a kick jobbie then take it to a Panther club meet. Quid a go for all the old boys in the pub yakking about kick back and the decompresser :-))

Now if ever a bike cries out for a trailer, this is it, but not a hitch to be seen.
I presume the torque curve is suitable for an Ivor williams horse box etc.
