I found this link on the VTX board I frequent...thought it would be informative for everybody. It's a java animation of a constant-mesh transmission, you can shift through 6 gears, 1N23456 and observe the forks and gears moving and working together to change the output shaft speed with accompanying descriptions.

oh, and did I mention that I got a VTX1300 yesterday!

I'll post some pics of my new baby as soon as the weather gets better here.

I love VTX's... Here's mine with about a quarter of the winter mods on. Did you get the C, R or S?
