How exactly do you use that pull throttle--I'm assuming that's what it does. I'm just curious
how you can stop the bike when you have to.

It's a very beautiful bike too, BTW.

I can't believe how much you can get from one photo with a bit of cool music and a little "Ken Burns" panning.
Beautiful bike!

It's a very beautiful bike too, BTW.
The yellow "1" ball is on the shifter--coming direct from the trans.
Right hand throttle is conventional.
Left side pedal is the clutch.
Brakes on right pedal and left hand.
Stopping and starting up on a steep hill can get interesting!
