- Ever ride a bike with the once "trendy" jocky shift and suicide clutch?
- the way it works, at a red light or stopsign, you roll up to the stopping
- point, push in the clutch pedal, and just after you are going so slow that
- the drag in the clutch prevents shifting to neutral, the bike starts to go
- to the clutch side. Now you have to choose, keep your foot on the clutch
- and maybe drop the bike on your leg, try to kill the engine and maybe drop
- the bike on your leg, keep going and maybe get run over or arrested.
