Broke my cherry . . . and got pics.
 

First time with a rocker clutch. I was wrong about everything as far as how I thought they worked . . . but I did it.

I'd be surprised if more than 5 people here even know what a rocker clutch is :thumbsup

straight from the ghetto

<--- humbly admits to not having a clue

Ghetto? He turned down $25k last week.

hope u get a better seat:1orglaugh

cool nice stuff!!

yeah thats raw :thumbsup

How's the ride?

Omg I want that bike.

I'd like two hours with it before answering that question. I know with a little time my opinion would change.

AHHAHAHAH you such a bumbling old fool! i love it!

Motor cycle dictionary for those who don't know...

:1orglaugh

Haven't got a clue.

What I do know is that the trailer in the first pic is sweet. When I upgrade, that's the model I'm going for. :thumbsup

They don't call them land yachts for nothing. Airstreams are nice trailers and he sells them at a nice profit rather regularly.

Congrats I guess?

The clutch is a foot pedal, hence being called a rocker... and you shift with your left hand.

thats pretty cool, let us know how it is when u ride it more

Kind of.

There are actually a couple different "foot pedal" setups.

The one I am accustomed to, which you just push in like you would with a car. Before 1986 all my Harleys had that.

You can see it here (right above kickstand).

The rocker requires you to manipulate the clutch with the heel and toe, in other words you bring the pedal up and down. It is different and even as I was going down the street I was learning how to make it work. It is different for sure.

My buddy will sell it soon. I will probably never see the bike again.

he-he, nice photos :)

Nice Knuckle:thumbsup:thumbsup

Wow, I learned something in this thread that I'll never ever need to know again.

Baddog broke his cherry!

:upsidedow

I see Empfanger Emil in the first pic...

yup notta clue what you are talking about all i see is a rusty bike ;x

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

nice pics thanks

Rusty? Really? What part do you think is rusty?

Very rare knuckle . . . 1945.

what's rare about it?


not being a jerk, just interested. obviously a particular model? due to turning down $25k eh.

anyhoo, cool pics too.:thumbsup

Man, you sure like your motorcycles! Very cool. Never even driven one before myself but maybe someday. Looks like alot of fun.

In 1941 H-D suspended making bikes for the public as they were concentrating on the war production. !945 they resumed production for the public.

Very astute observation. :)

I was about 7 or 8 when I had my first up close and personal contact with H-D. By the time I was 12 I knew what I would end up riding for the rest of my life.
