THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SUICIDE SHIFTER!
SUICIDE CLUTCH RIDING WITH NO FRONT BRAKE REALLY IS SUICIDE! I’ve seen the term “suicide shifter” used in describing a plain old ordinary tank shift. Simple ignorance caused that. There is however such a thing as a “Suicide Clutch.” I’ll tell ya why. Back in the good old days, long before foot shift was standard equipment, tank shift and foot clutch was the method used.
