We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember bildan saying
something like:

Keep in mind how the motorcycle works. *The bike has a 6-speed gearbox
whereas the airplane engine would have only one. *The standard sport
bike shift technique, approved by the factory, is to apply a large
force to the shift lever and then tap the clutch lever when the rider
wants to shift.

I don't think it is, you know. ISTBC of course.

Some people just like rebuilding gearboxes.

Nope, "pre-load and clutch" is how Sport Bike constant mesh,
progressive transmissions are DESIGNED to be shifted. It just shows
how much abuse these engines and transmission are intended to take.

You really don't have a ****ing clue, do you?
