I had my Super M up in the woods last week, and since it had been stubborn I parked it on a hill so I could clutch start it. I began to roll and moved the gearshift into 3rd I THOUGHT!

I was thinking, I survived Vietnam, motorcycle wreck, rodeoing, and a host of dumb things, but this is gonna do it. Be careful guys!
