prace bets now

The lad and I dropped off the KX65 with its new owner this afternoon.
Dad wasn't around and so mum took delivery. The lad wasn't that much
younger than mine. I wanted to demonstrate that it was an easy starter
even for a nipper so let him try.

As I thought it fired up very easily for him on his drive. To my horror
he then just booted it straight in to first without pulling the clutch
in. He had enough throttle on that it didn't instantly stall and so
lurched forward. Fortunately he was familiar with the concept of a front
brake. I had been given the impression that he already knew how to ride
a bike with gears.

On further questioning it turns out he has a PW80 semi-automatic.

It wasn't until I got home that I discovered that the PW80 has autolube.
Hopefully Dad has a clue or will read the Kwacker manual I gave them
with the bike.

Otherwise, I wonder how long it will last?

Why bother? It's theirs, now... Let em kill it., if they can't be
bothered to RTFM.

Oh, I'll give it 10 days, BTW.

 

As long as it takes the local pikeys to find out he has it.

Very possibly. Or, given the lure of a large area of public open space
nearby, the local ASBO team.
