Just a dumb kind of a new rider question ...
My motorcycle has electric start only. It will push start, but this isn't
especially easy unless you happen to be at the top of a hill.
Why do so few motorcycles these days have kick starters? It seems they all
used to have them ...???
Thanks, DF

For the exact same reason cars don't have crank handles anymore.

That's right. Everybody here knows he's an axle-inspector.

That is correct! Would you like to keep your prize or trade it for
what's behind door #2? Just because Carol is holding a goat on a
rope in front of door #2 doesn't mean anything...

I'll take the goat. We're planning on roasting a pig for my wife's
60th this spring, but no one will notice the switch.
