Short shift, short clutch, no clutch.

RE: How quick are your shifts?
My shifts used to be about 8 hours unless we had some overtime, but many seemed much, much longer. Now that I'm retired I don't do shifts anymore, or rather, I do quick shifts whenever the spirit moves me and I can get away with it! Short shifts are the way to go, IMHO.

Baxter i think you need to go see a shrink, we all are on here to have fun, not to insult each other as you seem to do, sure we kid around, but we do not get into name calling as you just did, I'm sure when a Mod. sees this you will be confronted with it..in the mean time, I think I know you, you ride a pink Honda??

The manual also states that what theysay is only a guide, that you may shift differently. For me it all depends on how fast or slow traffic is and whether on an incline or level. Just depends on the situation and my mood at the time.

Simply a conversation on the interjet. Happens all the time.
There have been some quick replies to your inquiry,
some heartfelt analysis,
some lighthearted bantering,
and a really silly four word accusation
directed at all of the respondents to your query.
Have fun with your scooter,
Ride with common sense and awareness,
and feel free to ask questions.
