I friggin hate being in a hurry.
Never been able to edit the title that I remember. And they changed editing the post not long ago that it has to be done in 4 hrs I Think. Not sure tho.

Not really long ago it was a common practice to leave the bike in gear and start it in gear with clutch pulled. After 3 starter clutch in as many years I quit starting the bike in gear.
Haven.t fooled with a starter clutch in a good while now.
