I got me self

I got me self a Harley
I got me self a bike
I got me self a Harley
Which I think I kinda like

Its sitting in my driveway
It looks sinister and bold
It sitting in my drive way
looking nasty and old

It has this thing called a kickstarter
I get on the seat and raise my leg in the air
it has this thing called a kickstarter
I kick and kick but go nowhere

I fiddled with it for a couple of hours
I played with the carburetor and advance
when I tried to kick it over
it kicked me back , right in the pants

I finally got her running
it seems so obnoxious and loud
I finally got it running
the damn thing is drawing a crowd

It's making such a racket
and there's a lot of thick black smoke
someone yelled through the crowd
hey idiot!, turn off the damn choke

I got me self a Harley
I got me self a bike
I got me self a Harley
Which I think I kinda like

Yes, sir, my man. 'Member the dayz of kickstarters? I'll bet'cha there's a few young whipper-snappers on this here forum that wouldn't know what that is/was. But I'll tell ya, if that monster of a bike (be it a Harley or otherwise) didn't wanna start you were in for a serious workout -- not to mention a broken foot from the 'blowback'. Jeez, makes me shudder just thinkin' about it.

Thanks for the memory -- CD.

I got a XR650R I will let you try and Kick start anytime you want if you are Yearning for Nostalga.

Well, I didn't have a big bike with kickstarter to toss me over the bars, but reading that paragraph brought a sudden, slapping pain to my calves with the memory of slipping and getting a hard slap a few times with the return. First bike had the kick on the left and the shifter on the right, and the second was more conventional, with left side kick and right side shift.

Excuse me while I limp off to bed with those fond memories.
