The right side shift is no problem, same as my older Harleys and Brit bikes. Now the left side kick...........................Not with my knee, or lack thereof I should say.

you should try the harley i learned on in my junior year of high school--1948 panhead with springer front end and 4 speed gas tank mounted shift lever and left side foot clutch, heel and toe style pedal. those were fun days, and every now and then i miss them, but my back doesn't miss them at all.

Sweet bikes, you need a WLA now.

What up with the neighbors houses though, Pink and green? Please tell me your house is painted OD with a big white star on the garage door.
