OK, this one should REALLY date me..........
The first bike I ever rode was a Harley 74 back about 1966. It had a hand operated gear shift, suicide (foot operated) clutch and manual spark advance.
Mind you, **I** only "rode" it about a hundred yards but the guy that owned it (a roommate) could eat a sandwich and drink a beer while cruising down the road and then smoke a cigar. He did have to stop to light the cigar, however. :roll:
I think that machine gave rise to the term "shake, rattle and roll". :biggrin:
A "high side" was when you set the spark advance wrong and the kick start threw your ass into the ditch.......without also breaking your leg, if you were lucky.
Ah, them were the good old days !! :bong:
