Heh heh heh! Yep; I've been known to miss every now and again. :-)
When I do, its usually 3rd. Heck, I did it against Bill yesterday. I
was keepin' up (sort of) when I missed third as his Dak started to do
its usual "walk away from Jon at the top end of the track" procedure.
Oops! Bye-bye Bill! :-) Bill and I were talkin' about this yesterday;
it would be cool to have a 5th gear lockout so I could just put the
stick over to the right and push it up, no worrying about trying to stick
it in the right place...
