Interesting discussion. I think because I've been riding/driving so long, I don't even consciously think about shifting. When to shift is such a sensory, second-nature, seat-of-the-pants experience, I just do it without giving it a second thought because I sense that's the machine's comfort zone (aka "sweet spot").
Don't even need a tach. I let the engine tell me what it wants to do in a given situation. And that works with any vehicle...even big rigs, which I've spent half my life driving. In fact, I don't much enjoy driving any vehicle that has an automatic transmission, because it removes the essential man/machine synchronicity from the equation which makes riding/driving so enjoyable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
