Rough Edge racing:
 Famous bike drag racer Joe Smith in the 1950's hand shifting his two speed gear box on a  100 plus HP Harley...

That's when men were men and were willing to do what it took.

What could possibly go wrong? Check out the sturdy forks and brake..

AND the bare hands and street shoes ....

This was back in the old days when a stock Harley clutch was man enough to transmit torque from a full-on drag-racer motor .... !!

 Not positive , but I think that pic is from the early 1960s , and the lever is to an in-and-out box . He is probably taking the bike out of gear after a short burn out. Most of these early fuelers were high gear only . Once again , every possibility I am completely wrong , anyone know for sure ? Oh , and not a stock clutch , probably a Barnett assembly , custom basket and all .
