    Apparently, no one figured out you're referring to motorcycles, such as British machines, and some other European equipment.

    I'm not an Old Timer. But, yes, I do remember my '68 (old, even then) Triumph "Thunderbird" 650/single Amal carb; and her RH shifter. Carb needed tickling to start.

    I also remember the suicide shift on my '47 WLA ( again, she was old even when I got her.,)
