I own a 70s vintage Moto Guzzi police motorcycle with a semi-automatic
transmission. In the manual which was clearly written before the
lawyers took over the world, it gives a procedure to set it started in
the event of a dead battery. The rider is to put the machine into the
low gear, attach a tow rope to an automobile, and then at 35 miles an
hour or so, let out the clutch and drop the tow rope. I have always
opted to get it jump started, instead. BMWs are much easier to bump
start... Rick where is your Spirit of Adventure?
Are you using the Argo 515 in this setup?

That's why you need a vehicle with a manual transmission (or one of the older
design automatics with a rear pump so it can be push or pull started) for
your outings and that you make sure the vehicle is parked with the nose
pointed downhill at your operating site HI HI!!

I don't want to risk running down the starter battery.
