It was a Honda, and it was red (FYI I know nothing about bikes). It was hella fun, but man the hand clutch was strange to use. I stalled a lot. Duh. I also didn't fall over.

Also, you change gear with your foot. Weird.

It looked kind of like this:

What’d you find odd about the clutch?

I’ve always felt that clutching via hand is a lot more intuitive and easier to modulate than via clutch pedal like in a car. Then again I drive a low compression WRX with an aftermarket grabby clutch and lw flywheel

I just felt that my hands were busy, doing the throttle, steering, clutch and front brakes.

At least you didn’t flip it. A lot of new riders will stall a few times, overcompensate with the throttle, then wheelie right over the back.
