Ah ha I heard "floating" called "power shifting" in the past.. Perhaps just another name.. kind of like, Hoagie, Hero, Grinder, Wedge.. hey are all just sandwiches!
Going to go get the paint for my eyeballs.. That's the one I remember.. Going to use first more often now.. Just wish it was easier to get in and out of.
Crazywelder, with those 53's (I'm guessing) you probably have even more strain on the clutch. First is a pain in the A but I am going to...
I suppose it's a little less stress on a bobbed deuce.. no? A little less weight to get rolling. I try to pick when starting in 2nd like if I can begin with a slow roll downhill.. when uphill I always use first.
I was wondering the same. 1st gear is so low when you switch over to 2nd you're barely moving anyway. The TM states First is First. Perhaps starting in 2nd will burn out the clutch faster..?
Inquiring minds want to know! ha.
