Learned that for older motorcycles as well. Just like backing into down slope parking spot.

Maybe thinking about the Allstate car?
This is from Wikipedia:
The Allstate is an American automobile that was offered for sale through Sears, Roebuck and Co. during the 1952 and 1953 model years. It was a rebadged version of the Henry J, an automobile manufactured by the Kaiser-Frazer company from 1950 through 1954.
Small point but one of my early driving lessons was in a Kaiser. Most were blue and that one was too. Had to lift the heavy hood and pour a little gas in the carb to get it to fire. Everything ran when that puppy fired up.

My dad had a Kaiser before I was born. He didn't keep it long. Now I think I know why.

Heck, I had several $500 70s Novas that I'd do that for insurance in case the starter didn't work. :LOL:

My father had two Farmall tractors (F12 & F14) with magneto ignitions. They were always parked on a hill so that we didn't have to crank start them.
