Thanks for the move, Alex. I thought about that section but I wasn't sure if putting it there would be preaching to the choir?

My last newbie practice session was taking off and having to quickly get from 1st to 2nd like when traffic is moving quickly and I need to get out of my driveway.

Earlier this week, it stalled when I did that.

I always release the clutch REALLY smoothly and progressively since they drilled it into my head at RTI (thanks instructors..)
It also stalled about 5 mins into my ride when I had it going after a light and gave it some throttle. ???

Doesn't stall on hills where I was expecting it too. Am I giving it too much throttle? Not enough before but now too much?

I have no trouble with going really slow and just using the clutch/brakes to control tricky maneuvers (feet up) so that takes away my idea that it's just my inexperience with the clutch.

That's going to be my practice until it never happens again.
