I been following this tread on and off for quite a while, and, it's been almost five years, seems like it just started, do any body here really have the skill needed to ride this bike? I'm not a professional rider, but, have enough experience to learn a new bike, if you learn how to keep it in the right gear at the right rpm soon you forget about Don Ghul. And by the way, I only use manual mode, and ride hard.
