Just the other day, I couldn't remember if I had to shift up or down for the next gear. I actually had to think about it for a few second before I took my chances with up..

This is a honest mistake sometimes... You should be me... my ultra has heal/toe shifters, the nightser is standard 1dwn/4up


Oh and DERF... that is crazy and funny as hell.

I've had this happen a few times as well. Fortunately it has never happened when riding hard (close to redline) though.

slightly older one but took off with the side stand down. (back when you could do that) nearly shit myself when I tried for a left turn and bike was jumping all over the place. Had to stop for a moment and regroup. LOL
