on the track i remember what gear im in....
on the road its irrelevant, cos unless u kno the roads u dont kno wot gear u want to be in until ur there, abt to enter the corner..so then i just wing it and hope for the best..

that's why i was thinking of getting one of the gear indicator thingies

Me too, in fact bike gizmos http://www.bike-gizmos.com has a few things I want, that, hazard lights and think they had one other thing I had in mind as a one of these days purchase.

hey Neka
How do you know you give a good time????
do u think that women tell you the truth or can you read minds?
Maybe your hand looks all smug and satisfied afterwards...

Sometimes I remember, sometimes I forget, but often try to find 7th or 8th..Lucky I don't wear thongs, or that would hurt my toes.....

I always know exactly what gear I am in ......... and I am really struggling with the concept that 90% of the riders here *don't* know what gear they are ........

For those guys who are always trying to hook up 7th gear, get a smaller rear sprocket, that'll fix you problem......

i dont remember

if the revs are getting to high Ii change up and if it wont go up I say "ohh shit thats fast" and then back off the throttle - i do have a big rear sprocket tho so its not really that fast

I never remember - but I normally know - if you see the difference.
ie I don't count my gears. Check speed vs tacho and I work out what gear I'm in at any point.
Got more important things to focus on than remembering which gear I'm in.

gear 0 is only required while attempting to save precious seconds in Galston Gorge's 5km/hr corners...

I usually have a good idea of what gear I am in, esp when say riding along the highway and coming to an 80 zone when I automatically knock it down on gear, or two when in a 60 zone. Unfortunately the Z750 seems to rev a little high and the sound of the revs has me searching for 7th when at higher speeds.
