Suicide shift shovelhead chopper commute

Short commute with my 1979 Harley Davidson Hardtail shovelhead chop.
Filmed with GoPro Hero 8 Black

Such a gnar set up, I love it

[@alglen9208]

Love this video, the sound, the camera.

[@Brochachichoppers]

Thanks! It’s a gopro hero 8 black, very happy with it!

[@augieh6146]

I think this is the best looking one I’ve seen tonight

[@Brochachichoppers]

Thanks!

[@Brochachichoppers]

Thanks!

Sounds like a old ambulance siren. Love it

[@Brochachichoppers]

Gotta love that whining sound of the old 4 speed trannies

[@Tristansubrosa]

Nice!!!

[@Brochachichoppers]

You too

[@tazmiller7490]

That seems difficult but I would give it a go! No front brake either, but more importantly how is your back doing?

[@Brochachichoppers]

It’s easier than it looks really. First takeoff is a bit tricky but once you’re off it feels natural. I’m 27 so no back problems (yet!) but the seat is soft enough

[@Braapstar219]

How do you even ride on down/uphill if you needed to stop and go

[@Brochachichoppers]

Hence the name suicide shift

[@shupshekitty]

You have a suicide clutch and a jockey shift. No such thing as a suicide shift. I have a tank shift shovel. Prefer it to foot shift. Just feels more natural.

Shift suicide

[@lpd1snipe]

Dude, there ain't nothing special about it. I've been hand shifting, foot clutching it for 53 years. My regular ride is 1949 EL Panhead. Welcome to the old school world.
