Although I can't say I miss it all of the time, there's something almost magical about kick-starting a bike. From the first slow sweep through the cycle, to gently finding TDC and then giving it a hard but fluid kick, all culminating into those sweet sounds and smells. Might be time to borrow Dad's Norton for a day or two?

Anyone else have anything they miss from the days before CPU's?
