Haha, ROFLMAO! Youze guyz seriously crack me up.
I guess we don't have to worry about cra-z1. He's running on all 12 cylinders, zipped thru this like a land-speed-racer zinging thru a voting booth.
I was doing 40mph and the rev counter showed 2500rpm. The bike felt like it needed the next gear so I went for it. Guess what?
No sixth gear!
Yes, it's elusive. If you had a 6th, would you be looking for a 7th?
I would.
I sometimes do a light tap upwards to see if there is another gear there. One hasn't shown up yet!
What I do find myself doing is thinking "am I in 2nd or 3rd?" when I'm looking for neutral while slowing down to stop.
We were told that 6th would be delivered after the last installment payment.
Somebody dropped the ball on that one.
AND another "2nd or 3rd?" joins the club.
I don't normally pay attention, I like it to be a surprise each time
Haha, good one. I now have this image of a DADDYG custom, jockey shift lever made from a slot machine handle, gear indicator displays combinations of apples, cherries and BAR...
Not the I am aware of - and with only mechanical instruments and no gearbox provisions for sensing shift drum position....it doesn't seem like a trivial task.
Yes - had one on my '79 Suzuki GS850 shafty and found it be a genuinely useful gizmo.
Yes - I like the low rumble of the exhaust at lower revs...
Yes, but then, I am usually trying not to be killed by nearby cagers and so I often forget lots of things.
Yes, that is why I took three degrees in Engineering - I hoped to learn to count reliably and accurately. While I think that I have now learned to count, I have found unfortunately that I have an amazingly poor short-term memory.
Yes - usually I cannot remember what I was looking for - so the up or down question becomes somewhat secondary.
Yes, but only from my wife.
You're right Pete, not trivial at all.
Like trying to put an automatic transmission on a Conestoga wagon.
But, good to hear that it could be a useful item.
Admission to "Stupid Island" should be free but they should charge big time to leave, lol.
Well, alrighty then. I have a fistful of day passes, so we'll get into it.
Mom is in a memory care unit, code on the door to get in and out, I start sweating as I approach the door on the way out......
You can't fool me WAY too many, you already have a working prototype!
Last summer on my royal star venture an 890 lb 1200 V4 with overdrive at an unfamiliar intersection I had to change lanes at the last second. when the light went green I thought it was acting sluggish. fully loaded, I got it underway in 5th. Who needs a transmission?
gggGary, you know me well. Too well, in fact.
Expect a visit from some dark-suited, sunglass wearing, dry-witted gentlemen.
Just do as they say, don't fight it.
Yup, that's the way it is with the ST1300 - I pulled away in 4th a couple of times and shifted up to. 5th....thinking - hey, it's a two-speed, just like the old GM Powerglide!
Tee Hee.
OK, no need for a gear indicator on the behemoths.
Just need to know if in neutral, or not...
