My top gear synchro on my 4-speed is worn so double-clutching makes for a smoother shift into high gear. I've actually enjoyed the extra involvement with my ride for the last 14 years of daily driving. I always joked that my left knee would go out 33% faster because of the extra use of the clutch pedal. Dang, there is a bit of a problem with my left knee!

So, any bad knees out there? If so, which one?
