clutchless upshifting, on either a car or motorcycle, is a good habit to have. once you know how to do it correctly, it has two advantages: first, less wear and tear on the clutch; second, faster shifting and less loss of engine rpm, thus you retain more speed during the shift.
clutchless downshifting is a BAD idea. period, end of story.
downshifting (with clutch) to slow down is a good idea, if done correctly. and in certain circumstances, like many types of racing, or in the case of brake fade/spongy pedal/catastrophic brake failure, it is a necessity.
double clutching is essentially pointless on most modern manual transmissions.
