Learning to work the clutch and feel the friction zone is a more difficult skill than some want to admit.
Learning to drive a motorcycle was a bit overwhelming, I remember my instructor talking about applying the brakes with right hand and foot while disengaging the clutch with the left hand and downshifting with the left foot… and thinking “how the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of all that!”
I do miss my stick shift though, it was more fun to drive even if less practical.
Driving stick, still haven’t figured it out and now that I lost sensation in my feet, seems like I’ll never get it.
I understand how it’s supposed to work, I just can’t do it without stalling.

Oh right… It’s a good thing I already knew how to drive stick before taking up motorcycling.
