Rvich, is this Ross or Russ?
What you must realize about my hobot character is that I missed out on wasted youth of wild exuberance on motorcycles being a poor full time student till age 28. Then women, cars, plane, boats and hard drugs were was less risky than big city cycling.
1972-74 had a short taste with P!! dragster but it didn't lean so never learned what fun twisties could be or how to even sit on bike that leaned for control.
So since '99 and my first Combat -instead of lawn mower I went out for],
I've had to pack in real motorcyler's 3-4+ decades experiences in just a few intensive years. P!! short stroke tach was marked @9000 rpm so guess what yo'all missed out on 2000 rpm beyond normal in 280 lb 2" front dropped Norton Twin.
[I will never get over that P!! but have forgotten names of flashy wild women]
As to clutch less shifting its easier on everything, is simple innate skill is developed to match loads on no torque interval it just falls in to next gear no slippage on clanking no wearing down dogs forcing anything. Dump trucks to big tractors, speeding up or slowing down effortless shifting is a delight to aim for.
The main danger is down shifting from hi rpm, drive train shocks, over reving and loss of rear traction doing it from near red line. I know better than to down shift to slow when I'm going harsh enough tarmac is loose as THE Gravel.
So when going for broke I always use throttle to taste power-traction limits before entering a hard turn and always use clutch feathering to taste traction again before full engagement commitment. Sane travel - neither needs nor desires clutch but to start off and stop. It standard knowledge not to hold clutch open at lights but to put in N and let clutch freewheel till green light.
hobot - yo'all may be all used up in the end with pristine cycles but I'm using it all up as much as I can before I'm finished, which could be very next ride.
