Richard Rawlings Rides A Suicide Clutch Chopper For The First Time! | Fast N' Loud

[@Mr.Schitzengigglez]

"You can buy it back, any time, same price." That, kiddos, is respect.

[@tylerparker3024]

I like how they just crushed the light bulbs with the lift instead of simply removing them first. Very smart

[@PunkIAm]

Oh yeah, let's just sit there for 5 hours and remove 2000 light bulbs (that are probably burnt out anyway)

[@tylerparker3024]

Theyre vintage limited bulbs and they didnt need to remove all of them dipsht just a few where the forks were sitting.

[@UNEAKinfluence]

Or at least figure out how to rig it so there's no damage. Heck, if it's worth paying 12k for, it's worth getting a rig made to help move and sit it on the trailer. Just like, no thought went into their method. Drag it out and throw it on the trailer. 😂 Just like someone else said. More money than brains.

[@toaster6651]

First time I’ve seen Richard actually respect and listen to somebody and not be a hard ass😂

[@kiefersgarage6262]

Richard looks younger then ever in this one! That's crazy. Cool that yall are posting old stuff!!

Thank his hair dresser lol

[@JohnDoe-ls1vd]

I had pretty much the same bike(51 Pan)its called a suicide clutch, jockey shift, mine was 10 over spinger, 21" front tire..no front brake. I road it 956 in a miles to Sturgis SD in 1989. Bought as a basket case in 1986 for $2200. I know times have changed, but you got robbed Dude.

[@acadianwanderer7352]

‘Suicide Shifter’ is a false term. Suicide clutch description is a motorcycle with a foot clutch/hand shifted motorcycle with no ‘FRONT’ brakes. 👍

[@SNDTEK1]

I remember following that build when it first happened......awesome scooter

I guess Richard is single again. But he was somewhat humble for a change. Good to see that side of him.

[@themomorain]

Who the hell is the dude with the black beard talking crap all the time? Who cares.. EDIT: Yeah also good job loading that sign without damaging it beard guy

[@SamSamuylik]

0:39 that face😀

[@Neilltheone]

You would think that a guy who was from the era would know that this isn't a suicide clutch.... It's a jockey shift.

[@widowprickler]

I'd understand your complain it he'd say suicide shift but suicide clutch is correct.

[@acadianwanderer7352]

You are right, it can’t be called a ‘suicide clutch’ because it has brakes on the front wheel…😎

[@bigwu100]

Them hardtail choppers look a lot better than they ride. Rick been riding choppers forever. Him and Aaron used to putt all around Dallas.well Aaron did.

[@garylam6233]

More money than Brains but I guess if you’re bored and have plenty of money !

[@SleezyRider883]

If it's your first time riding a chopper definitely dont start on a foot-clutch jockey shift. Especially if it's got a springer front end. Learn each one individually unless you're a glutton for punishment. The old timers who learned on that shit just didnt know better or they didnt have the other option.

[@anthonymestichelli9979]

I wouldn't give you $6,000 for that piece of junk

[@cb400fhonda6]

That sign had a bad ride

[@nitrojunkie9027]

He wants attention and thats exactly what you are giving him.

[@KeepItReal2024]

Just seen this guy on Collins Coffee Walk YT channel cool

[@richardstump4582]

Alright! Richard, How Are You??

[@widowprickler]

LOL it's not so hard to operate a clutch with your left leg. Maybe if he could drive a car with a manual transmission. he wouldn't need 50 tries to make it move.

[@davypig571]

You know Rick at least doubled his money that day.

[@davypig571]

Did Richard lose a bet and they played this out to repay Rick?

[@bigwu100]

Oh yeah, he always has his eye on the bottom line. Rick has been a creative investor his whole life. Now Dennis will piss off some money. Ricky, not so much. So happy to see him having fun. He looks better too.

[@SleezyRider883]

not technically suicide shift... suicide shift means you got no front brake so if you get stuck going up a hill you cant really shift and clutch and hold the brake at the same time. You need at least 3 legs, or atleast 3 arms.. atleast thats what the old timers tell me when i was picking their brain. Definitely wouldnt argue with a old timer on this one but thats a true suicide shift imo.

[@Sam123QU29]

More motorcycle videos please

[@ocho27hd]

“Easy Riders” the irony 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@eddieyeoman6950]

Well, that was the parking lot,,, thats why they trailer motorcycles to Sturgis. Most have tattoos and mega bucks into bikes they really dont ride.

[@El_Patron2424]

What helmet are you wearing??

[@acadianwanderer7352]

The bike looks & sounds good enough, a very clean replica of a bygone era but it’s only good for show or to ride couple blocks to your favorite pub on Sundays. The ‘Evo’ engine looks out of place to me. I was surprised Rawlings still bought it after riding it... I think he has too much money but that’s his money lol. Even the most ‘hardcore’, old school biker wouldn’t never take that thing on a long trip. It just for display… Growing up in the early 60s and 70s, I hung around older boys from my neighbourhood who were chopping down Harley trikes and side cars (bought at police auctions & army surplus). Many of those chopped bikes had a foot clutch, a hand shifter (3 forward & reverse 😎) usually on/by the gas tank or the jockey type. Rigid frame and a kicker of course. But if you want to use the term ‘suicide clutch’ rightly, you have to have these 4 things on a motorcycle: 1) 2 wheels (no side car or trike) 2) A ‘foot clutch’ 3) A ‘hand shift’ 4) NO FRONT BRAKES My own ride is a custom built (2008), with a softail chopper frame (Rolling Thunder), an S & S shovelhead (93ci) with a foot clutch and a jockey shift and a front (disc) brake, NOT a true ‘suicide clutch’ set up. Having a ‘foot clutch’ & a ‘hand shift’, doesn’t make it a ‘suicide clutch’, sorry. Some even call that set up a ‘suicide shifter’. I saw a product called a ‘suicide shifter’. The clutch lever is on the shifter (stick) instead of handle bar. Not cool… There is nothing suicidal about a hand shift/foot clutch combination if you have brakes on the front wheel. The ‘rocker foot clutch’ is something else but basically the same. Some like it better. The reason it’s called a ‘suicide clutch’, is because with this set up, the rider can't stop on an upward incline for a street light, a stop sign or for any other reasons unless he has a buddy riding along behind who would put his front tire against your rear wheel to hold your motorcycle from rolling back. Hand shifting a motorcycle is not dangerous or that difficult and it’s ‘cool’, I love mine, but without front brakes, it could be ‘tricky’ at times to say the least. I lived through those times and it’s just my opinion and there’s probably more to it. You can call it whatever you want, this is fyi only😎.

[@soulassassin0g]

Rick: "I want 12 (for the sign)." Richard: "Sold." Me: "12 hundred is not bad for that sign." Rich's buddy: "He just paid $12k for more junk." Me: 😐

No front brake is suicide my only pet peeve in life is when people get this wrong

It`s all well & good---till you`re boxed-in, on a hill, in the Left Turn Lane, without a front brake.......

[@Neilltheone]

Thank you, if someone wasn’t going to say it I was lol. I wasn’t even born in the hay day. It’s the same thing when people call a bobber a chopper.

[@acadianwanderer7352]

If he’d take the front brakes off the bike, then he’d have a bike with a ‘suicide clutch’ but then he would need a buddy to ride with him in case he has to stop going uphill…😎

[@Totaro17]

I find nothing appealing about that bike. It’s ugly. And nothings in the right spot. The shifter is not forward enough. The bars are way to small. The rake is all wrong. Just not a good bike.

[@martinbouvier8734]

Shows that money can't buy everything. He should be embarrassed by that performance and yes I've ridden suicide shifter bikes.

man if he never ridden these bikes you need time to learn and you born already knewing how to ride.... probably learned in a moped
