This might sound like a stupid question, but ever since I got my DCT I've neglected riding my manual transmission Valkyrie and find myself having to think more about shifting, especially downshifting when coming to a stop. Seems like my muscle memory has atrophied and isn't as instinctive as it was years back. I've been spending more time on the Valkyrie now to keep in shape. I love the DCT and it is amazing, but I do miss the old school manual tranny to.
Nope, haven't forgotten how to ride manual transmissions. May take a few miles to regain my timing. I love the GW DCT especially in slow heavy traffic and smoothness.
Now, an Harley Livewire did amaze me.
As an MSF Ridercoach, I now always run the first few demo's so that I can remember how to shift and I have to be able to do it on half a dozen different type of bikes. It always comes back fairly quick.
