Coastin'? How far, how fast?

I don't know how far I was going on my EX, but I was doing them in 3rd and 4th all day with the motor shut down.

Im sitting. And if i find somewhere I can coast from 5th or 6th gear, im postin' that **** up & everyone's commin' up! My spot will let me get into 3rd, then i run out of room.

Your right, that **** is Addicting as hell. I do it sitting down cause i sit WAY back & just lean back like hell so i dont burn the speed out. Keep the tail a few inches off the grab bar & let it rip.

I usually hold it on the rev limiter, i did a few where I took the key out & threw it @ my boy.

I'll get some measurements this weekend.

shuttin the engine off is rowdy but it will kill distance because of the drag it creates....trust me i did it on my street bike and came real close to eatin food out of a straw

becareful with the rev limiter **** too....thats a hot way to explode because of the lack of oil the engine gets.....what i like to do is turn the idle really low so that the sound of the tires rollin mutes the engine....an illusion, if you will, of the engine being off but its not get it...

im about 98% sure about the LI starboyz shizzle...im 110% about the Ohio starboyz shizzle...anyone???

yeah, it deff has drag when its off, but looks killer (sounds).

Merk, another down side of rolling on the rev limiter is if your finger slips off the clutch. im speaking from experience. doh.

you coasting sitting down too? I can't nearly go as far standing up

You doing sit down no handers? If so w here the hell you putting ur feet to stay on or under? I can't clench my legs hard enough to stay on. I can do no throttle sitting cause im still sitting & holding on. enough of my ranting. peace!
