I sold GuzziDoug a rigid frame Guzzi chopper...he says he is close to having
it ready....running a hand shift, foot clutch.

 Thought about it. Given the location of the loop transmission, it would be
quite easy. Modify a floorboard brake pedal for a clutch pedal, run a
handle
 straight up from the tranny and bobs your uncle. However, LaNasa is right,
quite dangerous in NYC and I think I could enjoy the performance of my
engine a little more with a foot shift. That being said there is a '68
bonnevile in brooklyn that is crying for a hardtail, jockey shift, etc.
Maybe when I finish the goose...

There is actually a loop with a hardtail rumoured to hang about a local
scooter bar. I will investigate and report back with photos.

 And what's wrong with that!

Chris lives in NYC: Kamikaze cab drivers(ask Washburn about that), Pot
holes( NYC actually assigns them a tracking #), killer bus drivers, toll
bridges, etc. The list goes on and on so the idea of removing ones hand
from the bars is not such a good idea.
