I don't know whether this makes me feel tough and manly about my gardening, or wimpy and effeminate about my motorcycling, but I now own a woodchipper with a bigger engine than my motorbike.
It's easy to start but it requires a long pull on the starter cord. You almost have to take a step backwards as you pull it.
I once heard a story about someone in the bow of a small boat who had his nose broken by the elbow of to the guy in the stern who was vigorously pulling the starter on an outboard motor. I told this story at a party once with vigorous gesticulation and mime and my elbow ended up striking the sternum of the guy who had just got out of hospital following a heart bypass. It didn't kill him.
