Warning - Repetitive Strain Injury!!
 
I think I'm suffering from "Ducati Clutch Finger" in the middle knuckle of the index finger of my left hand, you wont have heard about it yet because modern medical science hasnt acknowledged its existence as so little is known about it, only that it's caused by repetitive operation of the stiff clutch lever found on most Ducati's. I've adjusted the lever so it's near enough in the perfect position for me and I've been using clutchless gearchanges (especially at Cadwell Park eh Kye) since the age of 5 (well, you know what I mean) for all except first and second gears.
I don't want it to affect my enjoyment of riding my Ducatis so there's only one solution, I guess I'll just have to cut that finger off! :devil:

You could always make a wooden finger curved round at the end slightly, drill 2 holds in the top, thread a bit of string through it and tie it over your glove, then just lever the clutch in with the wooden one! :D
