Yeah I know. I caught on real fast on a friends old honda 75 as a kid.
She has her mothers way of thinking. I tried to teach her to drive a
standard shift car when we first met and she didn't want nothing to do
with it either. Her words: Why drive a standard when I can buy an
automatic. LOL

Nope, I don't know anyone around here that is even into bikes. I bought
the manual clutch versions for them as I wanted to teach them the right
way to do things so when they get older and decide to get a bigger bike
they'll have the knowledge.

Man I cross my fingers that day never comes. That would be a bummer.
My kids 125's have the standard 1 down 3 up. I enjoy riding them around
the neighborhood just as much as my GY.
