Kelly My wife watches the TV show "Arrow", usually I do my own thing on the tablet while she watches it but sometimes they have nice bikes in it so I look up.... Anyway, they just had a kid on a supermoto (not sure if a Husky, it was dark) with a nice black with red end cup Barret pipe...the old Motosportz edition Your angular "M" label was the clearest thing on that bike
All done with your feet. It's got a "suicide" hand shifter on your left hand side too. So you have to clutch with your left foot, and shift with your left hand while giving it gas with your right foot. Imagine taking off on an uphill. Most of the modern peeps shave the controls with linkages in the grips, so all the cables and such can be routed through the handlebars for the shaved look. So you would just twist your left grip for the clutch kinda like your throttle. No front brake, so you "shave" the levers and cables alltogether.
I'm pretty sure that is the trick that lead to his demise. It's a shame he wasn't wearing a helmet. He made some neat bikes.
Something about Indian/HD riders in the old days. My dad used to talk about riding his Indian 80 standing on the seat. He raved about the balance and tracking of the bikes. I don't think he ever owned a helmet.
Yes he did die doing that stunt. I really liked the style and colors he used on the bikes he built,too bad he's gone. R.I.P. Larry
