Kenny and I took it over to his Mom's house on Walnut Street. We put it together in the basement. We had no manuals, no techical data at all. We spent one whole night with a pencil and paper trying to figure out where the timing should be set. Dragged it up the stairs, got it outside and it started right up. Kenny had a 650 BSA Lightning at the time, when we would go ridiing, mine would always start on the first kick, Kenny would kick and cuss, kick and cuss, somtimes it would kick him back. Ken was a good friend and my whole family is going to miss him a lot. <br />Joe, Debby MankerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027707472409487475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606637437824372003.post-73698164857736379272010-07-29T04:49:29.898-07:002010-07-29T04:49:29.898-07:00I only knew Ken from the what work he did on the b...I only knew Ken from the what work he did on the bikes, and occasional conversations we had over the years, however he was always in good spirits and had a good word to say. I remember once when I got another bike and had a problem, I rode in as he was closing, he took the time to help me with the issue, and when I asked what I owed him he said 'don't worry about it, and gave me some extra fuses in case I blew another one later. If you needed something in a hurry he was alwasy there for you. I will truly miss him, it was always nice to stop by, and talk with him. I recall that you could eat off the lifts and floor in his shop. He was one of a kind. My sincere condolences, I will rememeber you all in my prayers.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038971410155126222noreply@blogger.com
