You are correct in that the engine will lug badly if you shift at low rpm points. I have an '86 goldwing and it doesn't like low rpm at low speeds. I just let the sound of the engine tell me where to do the shifting and as you ride more it will become easier to tell about that sort of thing. My bike ...

We have our down time too, Everyone thinks that it doesn't get cold here but the truth of the matter is that it does. It doesn't stay really cold for very long but it's enough for me to do winter maintainance on the scooter and lay her up for awhile. Riding cold is not my idea of a good time. The ...
