I tried the other night and failed...

Gear lever wouldn't shift up...

I wouldn't worry about it, there's not alot of point

Look, it saves 0.2345672435 seconds..this is all improtant

I clutchless downshift as well, but that takes practice

And that's even more pointless than clutchless up shifting

Dont hate me but in my opinion clutchless gear shifts are in my opinion a pretty pointless exercise for whatever gain anyone might think they are getting by using it. I could only see track use when really pushing things to the limit where any minor advantage might be gained.
In the 28 years I have been riding,I have used it but really do not feel it is worth it.( Maybe this stems from my mechanical background which would tell me that the clutch is there for a purpose?)
