I think Greg summed it up about the rekluse. The "riding" shouldn't be the challenge, I'd rather the terrain be the challenge. It's really hard to explain the benefits of a rekluse until you just get out and ride with it. Also, even without a rekluse, I never use my clutch to shift
The rekluse just means I don't have to think about it, or I can cheat a gear, or my gearing can be not quite right for the situation, etc. They aren't for everyone, I call it my sissy clutch but the same as Greg, I won't have a bike without one. I had the Rekluse installed before I ever even rode the bike.
Either way, let's get out and ride.
