The GSXR750 had a gear indicator so I never tried to up shift once in 6th gear
The Kawi was geared funny so I did try to reach for another gear at times.

I have 6th in *my* cage. I've thought about it a time or two in Carolina's car, but where my 6th is, would be her reverse. That would be ugly.

Tracy nearly did that in my car... except if he had "found" it, the transmission probably would have eaten itself since he would have thrown it into reverse.

ETA: JINX!!

I had a 69 440 6 pack dodge coronet rt with an automatic. And I had it wot and accidentally shifted it from 1st to reverse at about 50 mph, and it went into reverse. I don't remember it breaking anything, but the back of the car jump up and down a few times before I got it back into drive....

I did this exact same thing back in high school with the '68 Impala 327 I had. I seem to remember I was trying to show off, and, well, didn't.
