But WOW, though. 1909? Impressive.
I appreciate my electric starter pretty much time I push the button and the bike starts, though. I remember as a kid watching 6 or 8 cops getting ready to take off on their Harleys when the traffic had cleared after a ball game or something, jumping up and down on their kick starters. Two or three would start on the first kick. Then one or two more. There was always one guy jumping up and down on his pedal by himself long after the rest were way down the road.
