Neighbor of mine ( toughest chick I ever knew) was even riding amongst her friends. She pulled up to a red light. Her gal friend was apparently day dreaming( it happens), and fkn SMOKED her from behind. Mangled her leg. I ride with a buddy who not only follows waaay to close to vehicles in front of him. But I’ve watched him almost rear end vehicle’s, blow through red lights, and react to late to side street pullouts. I like riding with the guy. He actually has more years in the saddle than do I. But I prefer to follow him. Where do you like to position yourself during a “buddy’s ride”? Front, centre, rear?

I ride out front 99% of the time. I guess I’m the designated leader for all our group rides. My wife rides behind me on the inside third while I ride the outside third. We know each other and on some roads will share the lane side by side. It’s about trust and experience.

I joke about giving up the lead if anyone thinks they can stay in front of me.

If u can't hold the clutch in for a few minutes then put it in neutral
If the lever/cable is out of adjustment then adjust it or u wear out something
U could pull the clutch in and put it in first and let it run for 5 days and not hurt the clutches

If you can't hold the clutch in for a few minutes then maybe it's time to 1.) Hit the Gym. 2.) Have your girlfriend do it for you. 3.) Muscle memory, your wrist may get sore but it got very strong going through puberty in fact at 13 years of age chances are you could have crushed a coconut. Just do it!
