Cool What's your favorite....

gear? I'm killing time before heading to class and just thought I'd ask.

Personally I like 3rd. It pulls so strongly, when I downshift I'm usually around 60 and going into 3rd is like a power trip, and you still have 3 more to go. :p Okay that was kinda cheezy but you know.

So what's your favorite gear?

All of them. They are like different beautiful women:

1st - first demure and quiet and then towards the climax, intense and rushing

2nd - a strong sprinter with a lithe, hard body - with strength and intensity from the first moment to the last

3rd - the gymnast - immensely flexible with incredible body strength and a love to do anything you want

4th: Mellower, quieter than "#3", but when you want her to play, she's still got lots of party in her.

5th: the marathon runner girl with a great body - can make you feel good all day long, but with enough strength for some serious effort when you want it from her

6th: The soft, sexy one who purrs in your ear and cuddles up when you just want to be mellow.

That all said, 3rd is my girl.

Same here... dropping from 6th to 3rd and taking it to redline is a helluva rush.

Third is good. First & Second go by too fast to enjoy. Forth & Fifth don't have enough torque to get you going, even at speed. Sixth is there just to drop the rpm while crusing. Third will get you going.

I find the same thing - I'm constantly skipping from 3rd to 6th. I bet the original "factory shine" is still on those gears.

6th is the "take the fun out of the right foot before you get in trouble" gear.
