    Default Pulled my first 2nd gear power up!

    So on my way home tonight I got to a stretch of perfectly flat open road with no traffic in sight.....I sped up to 50 and thought to myself, "Self, lets just test that whole 50 mph, bounce, and twist thing....."

    I got it up my first time......wasn't much, only maybe 6 or so inches, but it's kinda unnerving your first time ya' know? I did it 3 times and got it off the ground every time.
    I think I'm gonna get a steering damper before I do anymore, just for some peace of mind that I'm not gonna whip up a nice tank slapper as easily.....anyhow I just wanted to share.


    Carry on.....

    ^+1

    I prefer 2nd gear clutch. Much more predictable and more control. Too bad I've abandoned the stunting aspect of riding
