Race shift pattern Yes/No?

[Rossi]

Nope too confusing, 17 years of normal gear shifting before starting to race it was way too hard to get used to it

Try taking an old British bike out for a run

How's a 56 Triton (one of the SDG race bikes)......been there with RHS shift

I changed to race pattern once.. after an "emergency brake", I shifted the wrong way and had no engine braking...
I'd rather miss an up change (and I do) than a down change, so went back to std.. and my quickshifter doesn't work in race pattern..
I think its a case of "old dog, new trick" with me though..

From memory, Mat Mladin uses road shift and so do a few other top racers, but most use race pattern...

This one only why?

[hoffy]

do it, I love watching shennaigans into T2 when people forget they in race pattern !

[s man]

Gardner, Mladin, & Doohan didnt use it so Im not. I have tried it but its no avantage IMO.

[Blurr]

havent used it for more than 300m collectively but I like the bashing down of gears into corners like Honda MG and turn 2 at ec. So i'll leave it as is.

Get used to the bike first
