I'm with you guys. I dont know what it is, but the sound of a dry clutch, well, to be perfectly honest, it turns me on. Figuratively speaking of course. (So do race engines, track days and properly used tires. So there. )

First time I heard one, I thought it was horrible, but it has a distinct sound and resonance that just speaks to my soul! Yes, im waxing poetic here, but then riding a bike with one, even for a short moment of time, theres just something about it!! For those that havent found the beauty in it or ridden one, just wait, truly, one day u too will see the light!

Not saying I dont like my wet clutch, but really, apples and oranges almost, dont knock something you dont know!

Dry clutches sound like crap! Nothing NOTHING that is ment to slide should be DRY.
