People with joint issues are also interested in a Ridley because theres no clutch lever to squeeze. Some people want that feeling of the wind in their face but are skittish about mastering the clutch/throttle action. The styling, fit and finish on all of Ridleys bikes are top-notch with custom paint, plenty of chrome, LED turn signals, a custom seat, spoke wheels, and big, beefy tires.Ĭustom touches on the Chopper shown in this picture include custom grips, chrome switch housings, chrome front end, chrome LED turn signals and a powder coated frame to match the tank and fenders.Īside from their good looks, the main appeal is that clutch-free action. No one will know youre riding a clutch-less bike, except you. Ridleys Auto-Glide Chopper and its four other cruiser models the Auto-Glide Sport, Auto-Glide Classic, Auto-Glide TT, and the Auto-Glide Old School are pure cruiser. I point this out because some people think riding a motorcycle without a clutch is somehow riding less of a motorcycle, that you might as well be riding a scooter. The throttle action is just like a scooter, but any other similarities to a scooter end there. I test rode Ridleys most aggressively styled motorcycle to date, the Auto-Glide Chopper, to get a taste of what its like to ride a motorcycle without a clutch. Un-intimidating Chopper: the 21-inch front tire and long rake give Ridleys Chopper its true chopper look, however, this Chopper is much easier to ride than similar models because its light and handles so well. Theyre riding a motorcycle that looks, sounds and feels just like cruiser, but theres no clutch to master. Its no secret that the Oklahoma-based manufacturer has been producing clutch-free motorcycles for more than 10 years, but for those who ride a Ridley well, they know the secret. You may have heard of a company making motorcycles without a clutch.
