buy a honda and shift with the throttle opened up...

hell...

don't use the clutch at all...it's fun on those bikes

In the sixties on my Triumphs I never used the clutch.

Waste of time when you're tearing up the streets.

only time I ever stopped was when the cops tricked me,
surrounded me, and wore out their ticket books.

Back then, tickets were like 10-15$.

piniongear and biggol are correct.

No reason to have throttle in that equation.

With practice you'll get it....

Throttle on...
Throttle off...clutch in/shift...clutch out
Throttle on... One fluid motion.....

So its not like a see saw motion? Its throttle off then clutch in? I always thought it was one comes up one goes down.
