Fare out man,i hate to say it but i have herd that one more than onced !
i have always wanted a kick only shovel or pan chopper for years and i finally got an 83 wide glide and chopped it out back in the summer and i chikened out and put the starter back on at the last minute [i havent got the kick startin down pat yet ]
the local bike club [7 sons,all older guys]all give me heck over chopping it out and kick only,but they always end it with ''i had one when i was younger too,man'' .
But i still see that gleam in there eye when they look at mine !
