    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.

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