Frank,
You read the exact same article I did - you might even recognize the "bus stop" phrase, that's where I plagiarized it from.
Do you remember that at the drags the bike kept skipping the 1-2 shift, so to get the best time they started in 2nd? Or to make it handle the higher power they upgraded to a bus clutch?
It's amazing, the details that stay with you. I haven't seen that magazine - let alone that article - in about 30 years.
