  • Shifting into Neutral..Woops!!!

    We've all experienced it at some point, and when your riding along starting out in first gear, you go to get on it when you shift and WOOPS, there go the rpm's and your there drifting along becuase you hit neutral instead of 2nd gear Then you look around to see who saw it, slam it into second with a clunk and away you go.

    Just par for the course with new riders, and seasoned ones see it occasionally too!

    dont sweat it, just shift and move on..and after your far away from traffic, then look back to see who saw you

      Yeah, it happens to the best of us. Happens to me every once in a while, but not to often. Depends on what boots I am wearing.

          I'm with you Lou, depends on what I am wearing on my feet. I have a pair of Doc Martens that are bad for that

              I think it is operator error. To much sun and beer getting to that fat bald head of yours!

                        When you do that, just go ahead shift into second, keep the clutch in and blip the throttle, then you can play it off as, "Gee I like my Exhuast note!"
