The Annotation says the bike runs very clean, and I have to say, it does.  Not even the slightest hint of smoke, even when you really look for it.  Can't say that much about my bike.  "Like Cheech and Chong at a Blowout," I think was the way MadScientist put it...

1982 Husqvarna 250CR - Cold Start


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I don't put stickers on my bikes, except the stock decals and similar.  The scheme of an old bike is like the scheme of a Challenger T/A; you just don't put a bunch of stickers on it.  And dude, have you ever tried a left-side kick?  It's so much easier to deal with.  I can't imagine how you guys with the Japanese bikes manage to kick a bike AND balance on top of it at the same time.  It's fine on short-travel, but I'd hate to do it with 40" of seat height.  With left-side kick, you don't even need to be able to touch the ground to start your bike.  That's how I managed to ride that very Husky when I was 14.

I'll be sure to get plenty of footage from-the-helmet when the new riding season starts.
