I skip shift. When I am at 6k rpms in first, and I am trying to get to sixth, I am not going to bounce 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. Nope.

I spend as much time as I can EOC within 5mph of the speed limit, almost always down hill, but I try not to use my starter. I use a kill switch. It really is fantastic.

I hear risk about EOC, but I do not get it. There is nothing I can not do while EOCing that I can do with the engine on. Also, I often keep it "in gear" but engine off, clutch in-so when I pull my foot off, power is instantly back.
