Default Rocker shifts and rain in Dayton

Brought my WL down here for a couple days of bike week.
Just getting used to the rocker clutch and having mixed luck.
Heavy stop and go traffic around some venues like the Iron Horse is very challenging.
Only stalled it once and managed to keep the rubber side down.
I guess that qualifies as a success?
Raining today so chilling in the hotel.

We tell the guys to ride it every day for a 1/2 hour around a stop and go neighborhood with in a week or 2 you will not be paying attention to what it takes

going to a thing like Daytona and riding a foot clutch for the first time - you did good i know people who drive through store windows and tell you they been foot clutch all the time - sure-

now yours the shifter is on the left - Indians the shifter is on the right

the throttle is on the right and timer on the left your bike —- Indians its on the left the throttle - SO that makes the timer on the right side
Why the left throttle - holsters were only for right handed people military and police < the gun shot was the first siren cant shoot and throttle at the same time same hand

front brake correct Harley your era bike on the left - indian had a front brake first and picked the right side

then the foot clutch OEM correct 2 wheel machine your bike its toe to go — indian is heal to go

now the rear brake is in the same place wow how lucky was that
