Lower gears lower revs simply because of lower speed
3. (If applicable) When "giving it some", how close/past the red rev lines do you go?
I try to change just before as I think that's where the max power is (correct?)
4. Based on a combination of riding ability and national speed limits; Do you drive well within your limits, push it sometimes or always on the edge?
Always well within.
5. Do you never, rarely, sometimes or often have a red mist experience due to other road users? If so, how does it affect your riding style?
Depends on my mood at the time. Sometimes I just think bad words at them, once I followed some car into a car park and let rip at him for nearly killing me.
6. Has there been a key lesson or experience that's improved your riding? If so, what?
My main key lesson is that I have a very over active imagination. Thinking what a mess I'd be if I got stuck between the central reservation keeps me sane most of the time.
This isn't for a study or survey. Just intrigued to know how other SVer's riding styles compare with mine.
