1st Deuce drive- Thanks clinto!!

[GoldComet6]

Just wanted to say thanks to clinto for letting me stop by today. He gave me a lesson in Deuce operation, showed me what to look for in one, took me for a ride and then...yes...allowed me to drive a Deuce for the first time!

So thanks again clinto and clintogf for being nice, patient and helpful to me. I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and take the time to show me what's involved in owning one.

I learned:
1) It did help to read the manuals first
2) Brakes are much better than I expected
3) Don't try to brake, downshift, put on the turn signal, and turn for a 90 degree left hand turn all at the same time.
4) I liked it!!

Thanks Clinto!! Every new guy should really consider doing this with another member before they get behind the wheel.

Don't forget to keep your thumbs out of the middle of the wheel if you are wheelin'

I learned that one the hard time...more than once.

True, but thats one more reason to own a 5 ton. At least thats one of my many excuses.

Awesome post !!! nice job too !!! I have a nubee coming to my shop with his new deuce this sat, he is going to get greasy and a lesson in basic deuce, I think anyone who is willing to ask and then take in all the info they can is just a smart person, and the type this hobby needs....

That might be a good idea for me to do that also. It's only been 39 years since I drove a deuce.
