   I used to think my #Triumph Bonneville T120 was slow, but recent rides like yesterday's to #Lake #Chelan taught me that all I had to do to make it fast was use more of the engine's rev range and engage my core when cornering. It's so much fun now! (8 photos here. More from yesterday's ride to come.) #motorcycle #photography #photog #photos #Washington #WashingtonState

     @tk i learnt this on my z650 too recently! I was upshifting way too early, barely using the engine at peak power. 5th gear easily goes upto 75-80 mph, i used to upshift off to 6th at 55mph! #motorcycle

     @yuvipanda 6th on my Bonneville is overdrive, so it's even less useful than that!

     @yuvipanda @tk It really depends on what you want out of your ride that day.
     Also, never underestimate the benefit of an Italian tuneup. Running the engine near the top of the rev range every so often really helps keep the deposits down in the combustion chamber.
