MT Riders Club

I managed to get a few hrs for some fun yesterday so nipped in to Sheffield for the sideburn/corpses from hell meet. Met up at a bar with around 50 people, everything from rat c90s to really well done chops and modded bikes.
Anyway lots of rotax lumps about, my mate Ross had his 604 flattrack racer on show someone had done a 500 hard tail chop, another was a proper mt500 framed flattracker.
Some nice kick start pegs too




I think the mt500 frame no ended in 1538

Any way I did 4hrs on the husaberg n my ass felt like I had been seen too by a rugby team

Love that kick start

It's the same bike as this unless there's a production line somewhere.....spotted recently in a workshop in Middlesbrough.

Has anyone else considered the Shimano cycle pedal kick start mod?

I've seen a few bike pedal kick starts. Apparently the yanks first had them back in the 1920s - unless that was the only crank they could find with the right splines???

It's true, it seems that all the old 1920's HD's and Indians had heavy duty bicycle pedals on the kickers. You also see them a lot on "retro" styled Yamaha XS650 based customs.

What kind of kick lever is that? It doesn't look like the one on my Armstrong. It looks heavy duty.
