That was good. He is a 250B rider and to think the bike is central as a B guy is well silly, that '85 obviously is just fine.. personally though i like the 83s better. as you can see clearly, for the second time, they put the kickstarter on the correct side. lat time they did it right was the first japanese bike worth a gawddam--and it was good, real good, especially the excellent front brake: the great 1978 CR250: 
Kick on left like Gaaaawd intended. Everything we did to our Husqvarnas, all the dumb litle mods, was already done on that bike--not too surprising considering how many ex-Husky Swedes were employed by Honda racing then.. Look at peg positions, swing arm from pivot to peg to counter position to seat tank junction, to the shorter tank.... NICE front brake--at least 160mm diameter, wide shoes and a big fat round cam for the shoes so excellent modulation and nice FAT sheathing and guides for the cable..

And that leads to this:
http://www.siegecraftnw.com/VDR-Pirates.htm 
By Carlos Randolphsen Pirates were surprised to be beaten back by heavily armed trophy girls of the Washougal Forces Organization (WFO) after a fierce battle approximately 12 nautical feet off the coast of Treasure Island. The Trophy Girls, with the help of Navy Crank Seals, successfully repelled the invaders. Their superior firepower included Husky 390 pipes (seen above) and unweildy Monark GS cylinders. The Bucaneers, unaware of the difference between powder-puff with powder-coat got waxed, Police said. But William Grubinson said a nonprofit group that monitors pirate activity reports that this threat is on the rise. The increasing scarcity of YZ boots, CR kick-arms, and indeed unobtanium in general, has cause Pirate attacks to skyrocket over the past decade. In a controversial move, area grocery stores have quit stocking fruit in an effort to encourage scurvy in Pirate Crews, but a local school district spokeswoman said the children have to come first, and it is better to have Vintage Parts fall into the hands of Swashbucklers than for kids to go hungry. Thom Green was quoted as saying he was outraged by this lack of focus putting brats ahead of parts. "Pirates anchored in the E-Bay can sell with abandon, along with everyone else" he said. "The only way we can track them is to watch for parrots among the pistons and other parts...." Vintage Racers everywhere have asked that this issue be brought to the fore at the upcoming B8-ES Summit. and you guys think I'm weird  ....John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

I always thought Left Foot Kickstarting was more of an advanced thing...
