Quick Trip

[the Ferret]

I had a gear indicator on my water buffalo 37 years ago and thought it a nice feature. Then when i rented a BMW of my euro trip, it had one and I really liked it.

Some guys say they count gears, but then turn around and say they wish they had a 6 th gear because they keep trying to shift into the next year when in 5 th ( this goes for every forum I have been on btw). Guess they are not as good at counting as they thought.

I don't count gears, but I've find that if you ride a bike long enough, you can tell what gear you're in by looking at the tach and speedo. That's always the tipoff for me when I forget to shift into 5th on the freeway.

That works well with 1 bike, but when you switch back and forth between bikes, my memory isn't good enough to remember them all.
