clutch out in second or third gear , but never _EVER_ use first or
reverse gear to bump start anything ! .
nor ease it out and loose momentum / speed like most noobs do ~ the
idea is to quickly spin the engine up to running speed so it'll
start , not use the clutch slippage to brake the vehcles road speed
and grind 35,000 miles off it's lifespan in a few seconds .
As you were typing nate , I was on my way to see the Dr. , it looks
better (altho' still nasty) so he re-wrapped it and sent me on my
merry way , no work this weekend dammit .
No Moto riding either .
