RE: types of shifting

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think maybe the terms may be regional Neal. I live in central Ohio and 
when I was a teenager we called shifting without the clutch POWER 
shifting and slamming gears without lifting off the gas was called SPEED 
shifting. Missed my share of gears learning THAT technique! Used to 
shift my KAW 1000's without the clutch, but the Harley does NOT like 
that until as least 4th gear. I bet some of you can attest to that fact.
