it's pretty easy...if you can drive stick and have a decent sense of balance, it should be no prob.

Take an motorcycle safety class from your local community college. It's not hard at all to learn the basics of the clutch, but a looooong time to "master" it.

You will never ride that bike to it's capable limit.

No one short of some professional riders and super high quality AFM riders will.

Just because you drag knee and are WOT doesnt mean you're ready for a new bike.

I can pass people all day long who are dragging knee, and I wont even be scraping a toe. Dragging knee usually means you took a bad line =]

He doesn't have to listen to me, you are just as well informed.

Plus, I don't think he's stupid.

But I should also say, after all that riding and being able to pass whatever, or this or that, without dragging knee and all this blah blah that I talk about; I still do it on a 600cc 5 year old Motorcycle (CBR600 F4)... and honestly? I can't ride a damn thing a second faster than it.

I so wish I hadn't sold it.

I think I can make my own decisions, although I do use other people's input sometimes
