Anybody got a set knocking about that they want to sell? Got a high
compression single that needs assistance to convince it to turn over!
Thanks.

Another bike and a tow rope will also suffice for this job.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Pete Jones"
<rcgods@removethisyahoo.com> saying something like:

Bit difficult to do it single-handed, though. I suggest a lawnroller
sunk into the ground and a 10hp Honda engine driving it via toothed
belt.

Actually, another bike would do it. Mount it firmly facing a wall with
the centrestand down and start the bugger up. Back the Big Single on to
it with the rear wheel mounted on a trolley with a centre spindle
support and let the two rear tyres touch.

Another way would be a pallet full of bricks and a rope. Let gravity do
the work.

Dangerous as f.ck, mind, but it might work.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.
