Thanks to a hit and run 18-wheeler ( I in my truck, thankfully-not a car- or I wouldn't be here ) I had to have surgery on my left thumb and wrist and clutching is WAY TOO hard on it. Plus, I love the extra storage ability and I get a lot of Harley/other cruiser bikes stopping to ask me about my DT300i , then saying that their bike is getting to hard to ride as they age , and they may look into getting one like it !
