I think it is a universal habit from guys that ride british at night and on Lucas electrics because if you can't blip your bike dies from headlight draw. Nice digger that Matchless sounds perky.
that's a cool bike:) but I cannot imagine how people raced those things! compared to modern MX bikes it's got no ground clearence and no suspension, people had balls in the good 'ol days:)

After you start it, a 500 single should idle great. That's why they are, thumpers.

Good old bike. Can you give us some details about it. Is it a 500/350cc converted road bike?
