In the late 70s our kid had an MZ ES 250 east German motorbike (like the picture but all blue and not as smart). The manual included an elaborate description of how to double de-clutch changing down which ended with the enigmatic phrase 'this is telegraphic style indeed.' It instantly became a family phrase for anything done well (or badly).
"Indecision is a terrible thing"
Or is it? What do you think?

Incidentally I'm trying to learn double de/clutch and heel-toe thing, while on motorbike I do equivalents of these techniques instinctively, I can't for the kingdom and half a horse learn it on a car  :(
