Riding down the highway, listening to the hum of the bike between your legs. You reach for the clutch, give it a squeeze. Your toes grab the lever for the up shift but your already in the top gear. Embarrassing I know. It happens to us all. For convienience and training purposes, I am adding a digital gear indicator to the 06 R6 and 05 R1. I am looking at the Acumen DG8. The R1 has been switched to a blue lighting, the R6 remains the stock red. Acumen offers both color options. By adding a digital video camera to the mix, you can review tapes and know what gear you where in during a particular turn. It also of course helps to avoid embarrassing moments of memory loss during a ride. Pics and reviews will follow.
