I learned to ride on a 1947 Harley Davidson with side shift with the heel-and-toe clutch. Ours was originally set up for a side car, so it had a 3-speed with reverse. Being 14 years old, of course I had to try the reverse. I soon learned you need both feet on the ground for balance, and one more left foot to work the clutch. Once you engage it ever so slightly, it stays engaged until you disengage it, but that foot is busy keeping you from tipping over. Meanwhile, the motorcycle is still going backward, into whatever tree, car, or building is nearby. Some crazy hippies in the '60's modified them into a true "suicide" clutch. Rigged just like a car, it kept your left foot busy at a stop light, and if the bike started tipping to the left, you had to release the clutch to keep from tipping. Not a good thing if there was any cross traffic.
