- shifting promptly and smoothly with rev-matching up & down (blipping)
- managing traffic
- bike-control, making bike track exact line on road you want
- etc.

And have fun!!!
up shifting..
is it normal to be slightly jerky in lower gears? I try to upshift after the power bend.. so anywhere past 10k I think.. or way earlier if I'm just cruising around. Maybe it's my throttle control..

managing traffic.. anyone upgraded their horn? and yeah.. i try to remember the 'bubble' around me and escape plan at all times.

bike control.. I DO need to work on this more.

Thanks Jac!
