Back in 1979 some scum bag stole my seat and kicker while my Norton was getting a new layshaft bearing fitted, well them days of no internet and finding a new kicker wasn't an easy task, my Norton was my only transport/get around on bike and me being a skinny 9 stone nothing light weight I had to learn real fast in how to clutch start my Commando 850 on my own, first and 2nd wasn't any good with my pushing jumping on to bump start it, just locked up the back wheel, 3rd gear was better but then sometime it would just lock up as well, then I used 4th gear to bump start it and it made its so easy to do without pushing it too hard and fired up so easy without the rear wheel locking up but when it fired I had to be real fast on the clutch lever, I did this for 4 months before chasing up a new kicker.
