The gauge says "x 1000" on it, so I assumed that was understood :dunno:

She is scheduled to take it at the end of the month

A bike transmission and a car transmission are different. Clutchless upshifting on a bike is really more for saving time during your gear transitions if you are racing or trying to go fast. Doesn't hurt the bike.

 

Good, sounds like she should stay off the bike till then.

 

I thought the same thing after the first day of teaching her

In all fairness though, I made some dumb mistakes too when I first started riding. The only way you can really learn is through practice. No amount of classroom lecture is going to teach you how to be a good rider. It's good to go into the course having a bit of road time under your belt for the practical application part.

 

i shift without the clutch regularly ... never had a problem :dunno:

cept it pisses my sister off when i do it on her bike

 

Werd. I remember riding my Rebel around the driveway/back yard/dead end street for a week or two before the class.. I remember putting 20 miles/day doing that. Neighbors prob glad when I got my license
