Two thoughts on that video :
Must have been taken in England (or other European country), because the bike was being driven on the left lane of the road. :dono
I haven't seen or even thought about a bike having a "suicide shifter" since the mid 1970's :yikes
It was most likely England Pappy as the band Motörhead was an English based rock band formed by Lemmy Kilmister. Ha passed away in 2015.
When I started riding again after my wreck, I can’t work a foot shift really.
The quickest easiest thing to do was a hand shift. I was laughing, wondering if anyone else had ever put one on a modern bmw. It got me riding again, but MAN that thing is awkward! Hate it. One of these days the plan was to cross something over to the other side for my right foot, but haven’t done it. Attachment 471433

The Harley was next. They don’t make a factory heel/toe shift that would just bolt on for my application, so made something. Still half awkward, have to pick up my whole foot and move it forward or backward to push down. Pingle electric servo, push button shift would be nice, but over a grand. Don’t ride enough anymore to justify that. Attachment 471434

Now for something a bit off the beaten path, a little more rockabilly from a band from the Ukraine from what I read. I like their easy going style, kinda caught my ear you might say.

And this one, too. The gal in the red top in the background is digging it as well.

And with a flashback to Jefferson Airplane, this one with Molly Tuttle and bandmates is interesting. Of particular interest is how well the upright base is recorded. They capture the lowest notes very, very well. Little things like that catch my attention in a lot of the videos I listen to. The picking is excellent although I don't care for the banjo solo after the vocals. Molly does the vocals OK but Grace Slick was the top of the heap on this tune. I don't think I've heard anyone that does it better than Grace.

TY for posting those. Agree on Grace.

That's a classic!:highfive
Maybe those last ones were a bit too far out of the mainstream.
How about some Go-Go's? The early years, Belinda on her own (that Roxy concert has some great tunes and she had Charlotte Caffey from the Go-Go's with her) and at reunion time in NYC. They still had it going on at that point. Some other recent video's have Clem Burke of Blondie filling in for Gina who apparently was sidelined for a while due to some sort of surgery.

And one more that most will recognize but many don't know the name of.
