I started driving a standard at 12. I wouldn't suggest Clutchless except in emergencies. E.G. Clutch goes out and you are trying to get to the repair shop. When to shift is pretty easy. FEEL your ride. If you try to use your Tach, you are going to grind. FEEL your ride. If you train yourself to feel your ride then you will know when to shift. Here is a hint: When the "Shift Light" comes on it is time to shift, clutchless or otherwise. To test this FEEL your ride when the "shift light" comes on, the Tranny and Engine match RPMs, Gun it without shifting and notice the "shift light" turns back off until they match again.

Alaskan, from a little 4-wheeler that grew up in a trucker family, I completely agree with you. [addsig]
