Drive it to its fullest potential... and according to a few past cars of mine past their full potential lol. However there have been a few bikes that I stalled as there is a lit less "play" before the friction area.

Yes, the Tripod webhosting image fail does confuse me.
Been driving stick for about a year and a half now...? Ever since I bought this car. Maybe stalled 10 times total. about 8 of those times were when i was first re-learning (first learned when i was like 5 in my dad's jeep in Colombia) The other two last stall-outs were - stalling out under the 275 overpass on Bearss like a re-re because i wasn't paying attention back like a month after buying the car -- and then climbing up a really hilly mountain town and it was slick and rainy out, in winter... I'm used to flat Florida terrain! But I learned it quick and have not stalled since.
I'm agreeing with Jordan on this one, it was a pretty strange question to ask, considering.

You haven't mastered a manual shifted car until you have driven a non-sprung sintered iron 4 puck disk with a 3 fingered pressure plate on the street. That, is the ultimate test.

My ultimate test was an AWD DSM with a welded center diff that bound up the drivetrain something fierce, trying to slip the clutch to back up in a tight turn out of a garage, with a 4-puck unsprung disc and a 2500lb pressure plate. The engagement from on to off was less than 1/4 inch, and you had to hold it in the first 1/16th of an inch to slip it effectively and keep the car from stalling. After figuring out how to drive that car I don't think there are many cars out there I can't handle.

I could shift my old t5 faster than most automatics
