I have been known to ride around in 5th and then when trying to give it a bit, I think wow sometimes this thing has a bit more get up and go than I thought. Then I notice I'm notin top gear.

I also tend to knock it back 2 cogs at a time coming to a corner and have hit 1st by mistake and had the back wheel lock on me :oops: .
Hasnt spat me off yet.
Probably because I slow for a corner on the straight and power through it. Don't get too excited thinking Im a wonder on corners it was a gpx after all. You can pretty much power everywhere and not come unstuck :D

Most of the time I dont think about where I'm at and manage to do alright by the revs.

im always going for gear 0, and gear 7,
what sprockets should i be changin?? hahaha

gear 0 is only required while attempting to save precious seconds in Galston Gorge's 5km/hr corners...
aaah, grasshopper, Gear 0 is located between Gear 1 and Gear 2. Perhaps you should save Gear 0 for PITS.......you need to change the flux capacitor sprocket !!

5kmh corners :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: it would be faster to get off and walk, and I mean that literally.........are they serious ?? are these corners really posted at 5kmh ???? FFS !!!!
