I thought the image problem was the lawnmower type pull starter! When I was I kid one of my friends had a Rokon. In case anyone doesn't remember they had the salsbury snow mobile CVT(I think anyway, but it was CVT). Anyhow, it had the lawnmower pull starter....

Boy did he get the ribbing at the track pulling that pig like a lawnmower to start it. Yes, he would show up at the track at Indian Dunes with that thing. I always think of that Rokon when I hear CVT!

Funny
