This video was put together by some AZ vintage riders — Bill Ramsey of The Motorcycle Accessory Shop made the video, based on a technique he learned from Mark Smith. I struggle to start my old big-bore CZs, and have repeatedly ripped the buckles off my cool vintage Hi-Point MX boots. Not cool. Maybe this little trick will save my boots, until I crash and have to start it the old-fashioned way. Of course, this only works with bikes that have carburetors.

Anyone tried this method yet? I have an 82 IT465 that’s a beast to start
Well, I know Bill and Mark have both tried it. I haven’t, but only because I haven’t cranked a bike since they made the video ;-(
