i actually have some more motorcycle stuff i could pull out of the archives :), not sure what it is yet , will take another look, but thanks for watching, !!!!
Got a heads up for Eric Balfour and Dennis Hopper. And yes I realize that Dennis is dead. What they are talking about is not, I repeat , is not a suicide shift. A heel/toe clutch was a clutch that had a spring tension system that allowed you to disengage the clutch and leave it disengaged even at a dead stop.The shift lever was mounted on the tank. When people decided to lighten?/chop their bikes they got rid of the tank shift and put a lever directly off the transmission. And then they got rid of the heel/toe clutch system as it was also to much weight. What they did was just install a single lever that was spring actuated. Push the lever forward and the clutch would disengage. Release the lever and the spring would pull it back to re-engage the clutch. If you were at a stop light or anywhere where you were wanting to make a left turn you would engage that lever to disengage the clutch while leaving the bike in gear. If you kept the bike in gear you would have to keep your foot on that clutch lever until such time as you wanted to go. This meant balancing your bike with your right foot only until it was time to go as your left foot was on that lever. If for any reason your bike would start tipping to the left before it was time to go, and you had to take your foot off the clutch lever, then you ended up going to your left as that was normally the direction your wheel was facing. When this happened and there was oncoming traffic, well then BOOM. Suicide. That is todays bit of real life history. Been there done that. Nuff said.
thanks for that, i was totally confused when i saw that bike, like i think it is beyond an amateur like me, i think eric did a good job learning how to ride that as fast as he did, i couldnt enjoy that ride, just sayin. but loved all the other bikes. thanks for watching!
In 2014 i founded a tradotional 3 piece patch MC called Bastards MC. Our center patch was taken from this movie and the Six Six Sixers. Next year is our twn year anniversary. To pistolero, the gent, billy wings and the duece!
Yall also took the name for another tarantino movie called “the inglorious bastards” and yall act like hardasses lol fo you guys ever fight the white supremacists or just yell from behind heavily armed cops? Lol yall make me proud to be independent since people think all clubs act like you starbucks employees lol
Definitely a great biker flick. The director/writer Larry Bishop is Joey's son and he was great in this picture. If I was in an outlaw MC, I would want Pistolero as my Prez. This mini doc is in the extras section of the DVD and was really cool to see again. PS, Larry Bishop was in several biker movies going all the way back to the seventies.
this video ive had out for a while, and just recently its becoming quite popular, i love mototcycles as well, but id keep away from that suicide shifter....yikes lol
Love the bikes, one of the few bike based movies that isn't Z grade crap, like that abomination that Chuck Zito made and "starred" in. And it's good to see Dennis Hopper in a movie that he's actually enjoying making. RIP.
i remember zito, isnt he the one that said he kicked Van Dammes ass in a nightclub or something like that lol, i bet thats a winner :) thanks for watching !
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid Yep, that's Zito. Ex 81 and still trying to recapture those times. I don't see how making that ultra-crap movie would help in that department, but each to their own, I suppose. Keep up the good work, that was probably the most enjoyable and entertaining thing I've seen on FaceTube for a while.👍
@@zwastiunburzy3688 i sometimes wonder if he sucker punched van damme, but at that time Jean claude was partying and wasnt the guy we see now. just sayin, i love that shit , ive been in some of those situations back in the day, motorcycles too, miss it very much. take care & thanks for the comments !!
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid Wouldn't surprise me. The "Z" Man has always been a tad overly excited by his own presence. I look forward to seeing more of the same from you, it's good stuff!👍
loved all the machines, but NO WAY on the shifter, too complicated for a guy like me, im just an amateur rider at points in my life, but the other ones look perfect, i really like pistoleros bike, that is way cool :) thanks for watching !
