bikerboy, I know exactly what you mean. I used to drive concrete mixer trucks (Mack 8spd) all the constant use of the clutch. especially when pouring into curb machines was hell on my knee. Mechanics told me to float the gears to save on the clutch cables(broke it twice).

I know this is a four-wheeler (a Beemer at that). But it does show the double clutch technique. I hope this helps.

Before CDL training, I had never operated a manual transmission before in my life. I got pretty good at double clutching, but I can see how that would become exhausting, especially during local, in town runs.
When I rode with a guy at Swift, he never touched the clutch except to put it into low gear or out of low gear. If I had driven like the guy who took us to the CDL test, I would have failed. LOL

Double clutching is actually a better way to drive. Without it the only way you can pull it out of gear is by quickly unloading the engine. When you think about this, you're actually using extra fuel.
