No Thanx, I will bust my own!

Who needs friends to bust your marbles when you can do it yourself?
As someof you know I fell in love and bought a Buell 1125R. Knowing its shift pattern was non adjustable street shift pattern and I have ridden for years with GP race pattern on my bikes, I flipped my ZX 6 linkage back to street to 'get used to it' again.
Oops, so I accidentally shifted into 6th coming to an intersection,

you know....

you're going to need a lot of clutch slippage if your going to be taking off in 6th.

just thought you should know

for next time that is

well I rolled thru, dropped the clutch, which stalled the bike, sending my gonads thru the tank while leaving me lurching to a stop in the middle of the highway!

I have also survived one hi rpm 2nd to 1st downshift instead of upshift, proving that slipper clutchs are a good thing!

I'm guessing a full coverage policy might be advisable for the first few months...

Didn't realize you couldn't change the pattern on the 1125. The XB's you can. Guess you shoulda bought one of those!

Any bike can be changed with enough ingenuity:

There you go. You shoulda just bought the Geico race bike.
