They don't run a battery, some sort of electrical magic

The "kick" could provide enough leccy for the 1st spark.
A mate has a Montesa trials bike with EFI & no battery just kick.
Either that or Belgarda went back to CDI.

Visited my brother and was checking out some photo's of his 1985 trip to Cape York, this is the result of a head on between a Tenere and a XR600. That tank damage is from the knee of the XR rider, my brother said there was bones sticking out everywhere, luckily it was not my brother involved.

Hi Guy's, not really bike related but on boxing day I found out that I have 33yr old son and a 14 month old grandson that I have never met

After the shock

I feel like the luckiest man in the world. Blessed that I have a understanding wife and kids!!!
Regards Eric

Wow
So that's the reason you like 1983 so much
Does he ride bikes? he had better start learning then.
