Clutch lever? I said that Harley was "Old":-)) Not one of those
modern ones.

OK, I give up.

So old that it didn't have a transmission? g

How did you work the clutch? I'm not familiar with "old as dirt"
Harleys.


Foot operated clutch and a tank shifter. I never had a tank shifter,


Yup, Rocker clutch and tank shift 3-speed, with both on the left side.
Not exactly a bike for letting it all hang out while shifting through
the turns:-)) Hand clutch and foot shift was one whale of an
improvement for both convenience and safety.

but did ride a panhead with a jockey shift (hand shift behind the seat).


That I've not seen.


That sounds familuar but I can't recall for sure either.

There was also something like the Cushman or Mustang, that we use to full
throttle with the right twist grip. But after you got in to top gear, you
could reach under the tank with your free left hand and override the
governer on the big end.
