Believe me, she'll pay you back in kind. Be nice to her on the delicate parts, and she'll be nicer to you.

Be mean to her, and you'll never hear the end of it.
In a pinch, with a little more gas and feathering of the clutch, I suspect that you might have been able to throw it into 2nd and gone....
On the 919, I've also been known to find myself in 4th gear taking off from a light.

I didn't think a bike had that sort of grunt to be able to do that without burning up the clutches. I did it twice the other day when I rode. Once in 3rd and once in 4th. Then I went home and went to bed, cos I obviously wasn't with it enough to be on the road.
God that's loud when they honk at you. I get the urge to carry an air horn for just those purposes, and come up alongside them and blast it.
