                  You ever drive a cage with a clutch, then one day drive an automatic? First stop light you almost put your left foot throught the floorboard.

                  How weird would that be? Grab the clutch lever and snap a tendon in your hand or somethng.

                  FJR is prolly my next bike, maybe this summer.

                      I usually wind up putting both feet on the brake pedal in SWMBO's car ... which causes me to stop on a dime when I didn't need to.

                                  That left side looks REAL nekkid. Just something satisfying about deft clutch work. I'll keep the XS.
