Default changing gears without clutch?

guys n gals
just wondering who else ( when they are in the mood ) slam through the gears without using the clutch .... harks back to my rice racer days and just cannot help doing it sometimes when I'm "riding like i stole it" ... not that I am suggesting you can compare a heritage toa rice racer

No thanks, I like my clutch plates and tranny gear teeth. But I cant say that I dont see the excitement of banging gears.

Yeah, sure, sometimes. As long as everything is synched when you do it, the clutch isn't necessary. I just practice it sometimes, on the off chance I'm out and a clutch cable goes on me. (and it it kind of fun...)
