Title: Blokes World, Guest appearance by Forum Member??
Post by: Mick D on February 18, 2016, 01:48:01 pm

Saw a promo for Blokes World, only out the corner of my eye?
But I am pretty sure it was about the left hand handle bar Brake/Clutch that this bloke invented/pioneered?

I maybe wrong,  ::) ::) ::)
Guess, just have to wait and see 8)

Well that's me in the photo but Blokes World haven't been to see me  ;D ;D

From the comments in the posts above I'd guess the Blokes World article will be abut the Clake, a true combined brake and clutch in one, which from what I've read about them are a great idea.
My brake/clutch is just a one off for me :-\ However I'm a bit flattered to be compared to or mistaken for the Clake guy 8)

Cheers

Brent

Ive seen that bike and very very young member of Ozvmx. Most of the Suzukiphiles will recognise the pic.. Its a TS90MX from Unzudd. He now resides in the top end and his name isnt Owen ;)

Quick edit, hey Brent.

Ive seen the blokes world thing on the clake and i dont remember seeing brent starring in it.

Nah, didn't see any faces just caught the last mic hair of a add out the corner of my eye and a few words.
I immediately thought of Brent J and the device that he produced on his KTM some time back.

Thought he had hit the big smoke with his gadget ;D Arh well

I once had to convert the clutch lever and left hand switch block over to the rhs so all the controls were on the right for a guy who had a Honda CBR 900? Hornet i think it was and only one arm. Also rides dirt bikes too and can ride really well, with just 1 arm on the bar and thats it  :o. After i did the mod he crashed the bike when a cow ran out on the road and that wrote off the bike. He then bought another identical bike and i had to do the same mods all again on that one.
