Suicide clutches are the foot-operated ones.

I rode a old WLC at the war and peace show in kent years ago, scared the hell out of me, tried changing gear and ended up on the wrong side of the road Shocked



Funny now, but never ridden one since Grin

Can't be that stupid. Harley and Indian used them for years. Try them for a while. Takes about 1/2 hour to get used to.

Bugger me...you're right, Prowler. Just watched it again, saw him drop his hand down to change. Mine's on the side of the tank. Must be a vid of his first go on it.
Manky, look at the yellow 5-wheeled Goldwing. That was hand-change too.

They definately take some getting used to, but once you've mastered it, they're great. Not been in any hedges, but it did have me off a couple of times. Check out the vid of me pulling away one-handed. Now, THAT takes some practice!!!
