There is absolutely nothing like banging through the gears with a jockey shift/ foot clutchset-up! Most fun in the world. Stay out of parades and find neutral before the light and you'll be okay. It will make you pay for yourcarelessness though. Won't do it on my bagger, but loved it on the chopper.

ORIGINAL: anubisss

Going down the street right near my house. His shifter was down low and kinda down by his back leg. I thought that was an interesting design and decided right then that I will never have a suicide shifter on any bike I own. It may be considered cool by some people, but too much for me.
Would it be better up by his front leg?!
