I get a kick out of the "ticklers" on the carbs instead of chokes. I suspect the EPA frowns on them. Push the "ticker" and it floods the carb and lets gas dribble all over the engine. They DO work well though.
I love my 500 twin Tiger. Nice and simple. I also have a 1959 Royal Enfield Meteor-Minor 500 twin. Another nice, crude, but rugged British bike. It has the trans shifter PLUS a neutral finder which you don't see much on older bikes.
Also still have my 60s Honda twin 305 Hawk. Probably best bike I've ever owned and much more reliable then any British bike. But it IS still a rice-burner and doesn't have the same charm.
