have a 6th gear.
That is a quote from my buddy Fudgie... and I am reminded over and over.
Do we EVER stop looking for 6th?

I've reached for 6th a few times, but I have more of a problem running in 4th gear at hwy. speeds thinking there is no need for 5th gear let alone a 6th until I realize I am running near 4,000 rpms and know it should be around 3,000 rpms dah. Glad I got the tach! |

Almost every time I wind out 5th... the toe goes for the shifter again... Someone stole my 6th gear and I want it back.  |
