How could I forget.. - but I coulda sworn our DR Big wasn't that big a all.. maybe South Africa only got a 650 and they put DR Big stickers on it.. cause it was a kickstarted monster.

I remember watching a buddy determined to try kick start his Doctor - even though the thumb-lever compression reducing thingy was not working and almost broke his pelvis as the bike did it's level best to try drive his thigh-bone through his hip joint.. hehe

I don't rememebr if he ever walked without a limp again... hehe
