After binning his own bike, Colin Lewis jumped on Wetty's 600 a quarter-way into the 4 hour a couple of years ago, and the bike was in race pattern which Colin hadn't run before. He did a couple of hours on it, and never once shifted the wrong way - in the middle of an endurance race!!

IMHO it's worse going from race to road, because it's upshifts that you don't have time to think about. You just step on the lever and over-rev the thing accidentally. Downshifts give you more time to think - and you're using the clutch as well.

Be a little circumspect and you'll be fine Rob.
