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!

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!
