I read in the early days the bike was direct drive to and it would start up on a stand then ,with the rear wheel spinning someone would kick out the stand and the bike would take off.A Harley dealer named Tom Reiser built one and he had gotten the idea from Potters bike but he used a H-D gearbox.He was the first to use a transmission. The first one Potter built was called "Bloody Mary" and was quite a handfull to control. When it came off the stand the wheel was really spinning and it would surge and fishtail its way down the track . I thought there was a book about Potter that I wanted to get.Amazing times. RIP Mr Potter.
