Kinda makes you wonder how the feck anyone managed to race before slipper clutches came along don't it!!

I do what the old fella does. I don't think I notice any slipper action though :o

Where's the option for 'Not got one, not bothered about having one' ;) I don't know if they're neccessary, but they do let you back the bike in a little bit and feel like a hero when you're being a bit rough with them :D

I'm old school and blip the throttle on downshifts (while applying 10/10th braking etc) but do find the slipper helps to stabilise the bike. Especially usefull in tricky situations ie., braking downhill / over bumps, while changing direction etc.
jeez ian, you never told me the bike was old!
you gonna knock some off now? :lol:

Pah! You inexperienced riders need a clutch once you've pulled away :devil:
