Ok, here is the true scenario that happened today and it has happened to me several times in the past. Push the knucklehead out of the garage, I am by myself, no one around. Open the fuel line, give it two soft prime kicks, turn the ignition on, check around, still no one around, starts on the FIRST kick. Ride to a friends shop. Walk around don't see anyone I know so I jump back on the warm bike. No prime, two people watching, one a nice looking girl, fails to start on the first kick, smile at the girl, starts on the THIRD kick. Feeling good, crowd gathers around to hear the old bike. Forget to disengage clutch before shifting because I am nervous being the center of attention. Bike stalls. Feel really stupid. I should have known better. Darn it. Crowd still there, some chuckling, probably 15 or so people. Kick it several times probably 15 TIMES, too tired to talk. Get off change plugs, crowd leaves, no one around, bike starts first kick...
Don't tell me I am the only one who has experienced this. It happens to me all of the time. The number of kick starts is proportional to the number of people watching. Next time I'm going to tell everyone to leave before I try starting it again in public.
