    I never look at the tach when shifting either. I guage the wheelie in feet. Three feet is a good shift time. :-D

      Rev it until it blows, then shift a tad sooner next time.

          I never look at the tach while going through the gears either. I ususally bump through the first three gears and then check the speedo to be sure I'm not more than 40 over the limit. LOL

          I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.

            For spirited street riding their is no reason to shift higher than 7-7.5K rpm.
