What is meant by slipping the clutch and how is it done? I have a idea but just wanted some input.

Generally it's the "friction zone" as they call it in the motorcycle safety course. A lot of people use it to pop wheelies. The slipping of the clutch is when engine speed is still faster the the speed of the clutch, but enough friction is still being stressed to rotate the clutch. If you shift with the clutch (like you should unless you're an expert) and want to shift fast, most people just partially pull the clutch lever back instead of all the way, this isn't completely breaking the engine power from the transmission, but enough to allow a rotational speed difference between the tranny and engine speed so you can still have a successful shift. As for popping wheelies, it just allows for more control to bring up the front tire versus pulling the clutch lever all the way back and dropping it or "looping" up the bike.
If this sounds like marbles, anybody else's input would be great.
