    i was very lucky really ,i was in the middle of nowwhere and thankfully my mate on a wr 250 had a rope and towed me up the back of butser hill i would have been well stuffed if id been on my own a valueble lesson learnt .definatly something to be said for a dual start bike if one goes at least you have another starting system to fall back on any way my bikes an xr250 r 99
