Topic: Do you count while shifting?

[BobbyR]

I think I count without thinking about it most of the time. I will sometimes look for that phantom gear just to make sure.

Geez .... I never did.  Now I probably will.  Thanks

 Havent run a speedo in 3 years, so I have to count, if I had a speedo, I'd know what gear I am in...

Funny I've had this thought a few times while riding, usually lasts about one shift, then its gone.  I just keep an eye on the tach.

I lean waaay over and look at the little numbers on the side of the case, just to be sure...

So that's why they're there!  Friggin Honda engineers DID think of everything;)

Wow that Colleda would give me shivers. Never knew it existed but the counting is given there.

I generally only keep track (count?) when decelerating, down shifting.

i usually count on the way up but when coming to a stop i stomp on the shifter about 10 times... i have seen and heard of alot of accidents were the bike is going to take a left across traffic and is in second and stalls and gets hit by a car
