    right, i remember doing that in my first car, but matching 30 in 3rd etc. Ill go with that and see how it feels, Im not far off doing that already, but probably 3rd at 30. I know im just over thinking stuff, it helps to ramble on about it

    I rode nearly all the time when theirs a bit of traffic in 2nd

    I like the engine braking

    I can do 80/90mph in second maybe flick up to 3rd

    All depends on the rider there’s no real hard and fast rules, whatever you feel comfortable with

    oh yeah, thats the other thing, the engine braking is immense! again, the BMW has virtually zero engine braking, unless it decides you need hill descent control. Its so easy to roll back for a corner and find im going really slow, then want to speed up at the start of the corner.

    I'm really enjoying all this new stuff, its been too long with everything being predictable in life.

    ~Cheers. I hope the installation is straight forward.

    I'd read recently that Cordona is a well-respected brand. Not sure whether it was this forum or another, as I am a forum tart:eek:.

    Down shift as well:).

    Another MoT today. RR4 time. I wouldn't normally post pics on such a thread, but as there's been a resurgence of interest on the forum of RR4 - 7s I have to post these for @gary1966 and @Sp0oner .:D:D Returned to standard screen.
