      Are you a guy? Because I drive manual (hate automatic transmission in cars, don’t like shifting bikes at all though) and one time my husband borrowed his dad’s truck because his car was broken, we went out to a concert and he (husband) got drunk so I drove us home, it was so hard to shift that truck, I had to stand on the clutch, like my ass came off the seat. Anyway, I downshifted to slow down and drunk husband found it really sexy for some reason. So you are not alone.

        I am a guy but this is something that my girlfriend told me. However, I personally do find women riding geared motorcycles hot. So I totally empathise with your husband :D

      Well let me tell ya about an 8 speed rig with a triple splitter and air brakes, with a 53 foot van and a full hazmat… CERTIFIED!

      You haven’t driven a stick until you’ve shifted 24 times without repeats or synchromesh.
