...and throw in heavy boots and a heel/toe shifter with an obese rider stomping away. If the bike is set up correctly it take very little effort to change gears for a good rider.

This just happened to me, 1991 fxr as i was cruising along and lightly downshifted into 4th, it went to neutral. So, I went back to fifth and down shifted a little firmer and found 4th. I never had this happen once on my twin cam dyna in 38k miles. Kinda freaked me out at first but after reading the comments here I'm relieved.
