First flight on 183.

[G19Tony]

I finished this round of farkles, and took 183 out for it's FCF. I was only out for about 15 minutes. The bike is very smooth. Shifting was a little awkward, but after a few minutes, I was getting smooth shifts. If anything, I would shorten the shift lever up, so I could get a more solid purchase with my heel and toe. The IRC GP-1's rode smooth on the pavement. I found myself reaching for an imaginary clutch lever. I'll get it on the insurance tonight, and see about getting a temp tag, until I get my DMV appointment in April. I'm going to like this little machine.

Congrats!!! Try tapping your toe on the rear shift "paddle" instead of your heel, Ive heard some roll that way with flip flops!

I'll give it a go. Thanks. Man, I can't even imagine riding without proper footwear.

I found the heel and toe a little awkward. Mostly rotating my heel down to the angle required. You may have already done this but dropping the foot pegs and taking the gear shift off and rotating it on the spline so the heel part is higher makes it a lot more comfortable.
