whoever said a hand brake would make things easier is a ****ing deush bag. this thing is killin me. one day, seven hours of riding, about 10 wrecks, one good enough to knock the carbs completly off my engine, and a bent clip on equals 1 half of a seat stander circle. joe, squirrel, you guys are my new heros. if my bike didnt choke on itself i could do the squirrely signiture running by the side of the bike using the hand brake, but my carbs arnt a big fan of that manuver. BTW joe one of your budds came down (scott) he rides the tele, cool as hell, just saw a truck pull up with some ff stickers :YEAH he got to witness some of the carnage.
