Hey everyone, I’m back from a 400 miles trip!

Actual riding and learning is way more useful than reading articles online... I was mostly riding on two-lane twisty highway with lots of up and downshifting. I decided not to rev match and just focus on other things. Having one less thing to worry about was definitely as plus to slowly build up my confidence in riding. Downshifting without blipping was just fine. All I had to do is slow down enough and just shift before a turn. It’s slightly jerky, but since I do everything before start leaning to turn, I wasn’t worry about slipping the rear wheel. I wasn’t trying to downshift at high rev anyway.

Overall, a successful three-day motorcycle camping trip was a success!
