Is this just something you get better at/pick up as time goes on? I've been riding about 5 days now, maybe a week, put a couple hundred miles on my bike and I still have yet to get the shifting down smooth and I definitely can't do it fast. It's weird, I can rip through the gears in any car, but this is like another beast or something. I was wondering if when racing you guys use the clutch or what? Also, what's your guys 'routine' when shifting? Do you stay on the gas in the same amount, let off some, etc? Do you just release the clutch or slowly let it out, etc etc? Call me retarded but I don't remember me having this much trouble when I learned how to drive stick like 5 years ago. thanks
