Downfalls of kick shifting

1-will probably have to have left hip replacement at some point in my life
2-can only find neutral by grabbing clutch with right hand and reaching kick shifter with left
3-(New One!) kicking your spark plug wire so hard that it breaks of inside coil. I have shocked myself many a times with my Shovel mag, can tell you the electronic ignition may be stronger. Fun times this evening trying to hold the lose wire while getting shocked.

  4. pure laziness is my only defense, I think I will be going back to a proper shifter next time I pull the primary.
