STFU-Why was it crap? As I posted earlier, my left hand injury and arthritis in the thumb joint is a major problem using a clutch lever. This problem has curtailed my long distance riding after 54 years, but I am not yet ready to hang up the proverbial spurs. WHOOFSHE-What is the proper...

Due to an injury and now arthritus in the left thumb joint I am considering a bike without needing to use a clutch. I was intersted in an FJR several years ago and other than the spider connector and heat issues I was going to move up to one from my Buell Uly. Instead I went with a Strom, but...
