Default James 2 stroke

We had a James scrambler as kids, if I remember correctly it had a villiers engine in it and was a bugger to start.

My father had a little Royal Enfield, its claim to fame was that he could backfire it in to reverse rotation and actually back it into a park space. The other thing I remember was him showing me the hill at Ettamogah that he had been unable to get up because of the head wind, had to get of and push. The hill turned out to be a slight rise on a main (bitumen) road.
