Starting the thing.  I’d advise turning the petrol on too.

Nice one. Pointing the young towards Good Habits then TT,  can't be bad.
What also struck me was 'Those are my boots'! Really should go on a wardrobe course I suppose.

"If the engine doesn't start repeat part 4 of the instructions"
If only it was that simple. "Do not repeat part 4 of the instruction more than 10 times or you may collapse.."

I was going to say, "...repeat Part 4 132 times."

If the bike needs that many kicks then buy a Triumph...guaranteed to start in three kicks.

That what I've been doing wrong all these years...........

There's the extended version:
Repeat part 4 ten times., then:
Remove and clean the plugs
Repeat part 4 ten times then:
Clean the points
Repeat part 4 ten times then:
Clean the carb bowl.
Repeat part 4 ten times then:
Then strip the carb and clean the pilot jet
Repeat part 4 ten times then:
Strip the mag and send it off for overhaul ...
Repeat part 4 ten times then:
Then strip the engine and crank grind, new rings and valves....

Well that's how I got mine started anyway.
