uh...that's kinda what 6th gear is for isn't it? And uh...like, downshift dude. How you get it up to 80 is up to you...how you stay there is up to you. But don't burn out your gears trying to stay at 80mph in 2nd gear.

he's talkin about wheelies, aren't you thojboy? when @ 80, grab the clutch, drop into 3rd, grab some throttle (a little over 3/4 should do it) and pretty much dump the clutch. don't let it wind up too much. the time between you grabbing the throttle and you dumping the clutch is like less than a second. and, man, practice with the 40mph wheelies, first.

If I'm at 80mph, I'll bounce it up in 3rd...no clutch needed.

Maybe thats why I can't get it up in thrid or second ...I only weight 125 and only 5'3 and bounce it is not that easy ....I think I'll try to change me gears and see what happens maybe go two or three tooth at the rear
