Maybe a dumb shifting question???

Just wondering, when putting through traffic, what kind of damage, if any, is done by shifting up or down without the clutch??

Flame away....

clutchless shifting is for harder riding. I do it all the time!
But while just putting along? It doesn't go the smoothest at low rpm's so I don't do it. Why would you?
