Dinq/everyone - Don't you agree that extensive experience with a manual transmission in a cage is great practice for proper technique on a motorcycle. I was lucky enough to go to stock car driving school last Summer in Canada. Try engine braking at 150mph with a high performance clutch! That is some serious braking! I will always engine brake when possible before actual braking. High RPM's are our friends! Of course, it doesn't matter in Florida, we just put on the cruise control and take a nap until arriving at our destination.
