Guess I'm looking at the worst case, which would be fully loaded bike in traffic. Wait a minute, two up.
How many times can the starter take that I wonder?
Is that how you do it Dune? (I'm talking about the crutch, ok)

Well, I've used that technique with a VW Bus, so.... (sure wouldn't want to have to do it going uphill) Also, did a lot of hanging back, to try and hit the traffic lights while they were green.

That was how I got through W'bool. And halting in neutral when there was some slight hill. Just needed some movement to drop into first. Cant be good for an old gearbox tho
