  Plot twist:if you turn the gear lever 279 degrees, you will have 5 neutral&apos;s and 1 gear.

  I own 5 motorcycles. I&apos;ve decided today that I am selling them all. I have no one else to go riding with and the small city I live in gets so boring driving around by myself. I went from loving the whole motorcycle thing when I started back in 2014, to having no desire to get back on one again not even one month after starting to ride again this spring/summer. For all you still riding, ride safe out there.

  Funny thing about the shifter tip:<br>My first bike has a reverse N-4down shifter, and when I switched to my sisters motorcycle she gave me as a gift I never once mis-shifted. I got so used to mine, but after 10 minutes normal 1-N-5 shift became perfectly normal too. I now have a third motorcycle and I switch between the three a random and I never have issues with forgetting. <br>Although, one huge caveat is that my first bike is a 125 urban supermoto style bike, my sisters bike is a 250 cruiser, and my new bike is a Versys 300x ADV Touring bike... so most likely I never mess up because each bike feels entirely different.<br><br>Still, I&apos;d say if anyone wants to try it... GO FOR IT! <br>I absolutely LOVE my reverse shifter and I wish every bike I own and plan to but would shift that way. A simple tap to shift up is much faster and easier, and then having your toe under feels more natural when braking and slowing. It just feels more natural in my opinion. I&apos;m sure at least a few people will love it and keep it too.

  About the reverse gear: I come from the time when it could be that way - and also on the other side - and it was a pain and dangerous, so I have a better solution: a double lever shifter with a heel shifter. It also has a collateral benefit for those of us who ride on the ball of our feet: we only have to lower our feet to shift down and it does not force you to learn a new way of shifting that could cause errors. I know this is something that&apos;s usually for cruisers and slow bikes, but you should really try it.

  Try the powder detergent, its more effective to clean greasy hands. Add a little bit of water
