Made a last minute trip to the Black Hills to pick up the 1914 original paint HD for the CANNONBALL.The founder, Lonnie Isam Jr., spent the day before my arrival, trying to bring her to life.
We got her started, & I took off, at about 30mph, the road turned to gravel & I noticed I had to stop, go thru a barbed wire fence or make a sharp left or right.
I rocked the pedals backwards... a pedal fell off... no brakes.
I calmly pulled the clutch lever back, making note of were the rare pedal had fallen, and not found the clutch lever was in my hand, but no longer attached to the motorcycle.
PANIC
no kill switch... barbed wire closer.
Disengage clutch with foot, & drag both feet to end my 1/4 mile trip, knowing I am a very long way from driving this bike 3200 miles in four months!
