LOL< yup. Mine usually required lots of pushing and then 'not so graceful'
jump into the drivers seat, hoping that I didn't trip and get dragged under
the wheels
After finally getting into the seat, hoping that it was moving fast enough
to start when I popped the clutch and a good deal of cursing on those
occasions when it wasnt.

Dang, I'm glad those days are gone.

Just to update all:
I found a roll pin in the fork shaft that had worked its way out, no other
damage. So for a 25 cent part I had to buy a cherry picker (which I've
wanted anyway), take all that crap out, and install a new clutch.
