I'm feeling pretty confident on my bike these days. I haven't taken the Boston T since getting it. Yesterday I drove it all the way down to Cambridge through rush hour traffic. Good times!
The one skill I want to build is getting a quick, smooth acceleration from a stop. I'm not talking about showboating or racing, but getting up and moving briskly in traffic. Right now, I tend to let it roll forward slowly in the friction zone which takes a second or two to get up to speed. It's fine on my own, but it's obnoxious in traffic.
Is the idea to give it more throttle in the friction zone and and then slowly release the clutch? I'm worried that I'm doing it wrong if I power through 1st with the clutch partially depressed.
