Very nice. Can you tell me when you push your heel down on the clutch pedal and put it in first gear can you then take your foot off leaving it in gear, like when stopping at a stop sign so you can also put your left foot down and then when ready to go press the toe down, or is that a no no.
Hi, great question. Think of it exactly like a modern clutch on your handle bar minus the spring back. So when you apply the clutch, which is the heel down, you can take your foot off in gear and you stay in place. When you rock your foot from heal to toe, the clutch releases and you begin to move... In a modern bike, you have clutch springs that return your clutch handle back to non-enguaged position. These old girls don't do it... Same for the throttle, no return, you roll the throttle back... ;>] love it!!!!
