I think this TOTALLY TRUE

But in my case, its like this :
I start riding at the age of 15 (Duh, its illegal), get caught by the poliece, buy my own 50cc KSR, get a lisence, start daily driving, one month later start carving the mountains with my friends, start gymkhana, feel lack of power so start modding, new chambers, bigger carburators etc etc etc
Drop in a 80cc 10hp engine, mod it, carve more mountains.
Decide to start racing in track.
Get stuck in the top of a mountain two days before the race (was doin my carb setting), find out that i was out of 2-stroke oil. Totally mess up my cylinder and pistons.
Was able to find a replacement by next day.
First time to ride in a track, find out that the carb setting is all messed up now, after 3 laps, a differnt rider knees me at the straight, SLAM! go skidding through.
I find out that my front forks are bent, handles bent, no clutch lever.
Go back to the pit, decide that ill still race WITHOUT a clutch lever. End up getting a really good lap time after the accident.

Now after all the accidents, addicted to track riding.

After that stepped up to a NSR250 (45hp). Too much power for me!

so you were banging thru the gears with no clutch? wow.

 

Yup, without a clutch.
Its hella hard to start, cause you have to run and jump on the bike and slam it in gear, but other than that, i just turned the throttle back, shift up, throttle back, shift up and on.
