What is like to drive a Shifter Kart

A Stock Moto Honda 125cc 6 speed Shifter Kart class brings you under 3 seconds 0-60 mph and it takes 6 seconds to reach 100 mph. G-forces reaches 4 g's with a comparison of roller coaster with 1 g's. When you seen the shaking scenes, that means the track has a bump surface.
When I use my camcorder on the side..it feels like 40lbs against my neck.

Enjoy watching!

my cousin is deaf but he rides dirt bikes. i have no idea how he knows when to shift cause he cant use the sound of the engine as a guide and he doesnt have a light to tell him like in some cars. mad props dude. i think its amazing how people that cant even here can shift when there supposed. i know i couldnt do that lol

The way I do it is not to look at the gages...I do shift when the torque curve ends not redlining it. One time, I did experiment it by using redlining on every shift loses about 2 second of a lap. If you do that in a race, you'll be lapped by a leading racer approximately 13th lap on this track.

I only do redlining some areas of the track.

Wow, the fact that you can't hear and do this...really makes me warm around my heart :)

Props to you man!

Terga,

Thank you. I've noticed that I'm lot quicker without wearing hearing aids.

Short shifters not shirt

[LOVESooMOTERCYCLES]

You dont need to listen to shift its all on feeling the power curve and vibration of the engine if you ride dirt bikes or shifter karts put in ear phones and krank it yes u can still hear when your rommping on the throttle but for the most part thats a great way to experince being deaf its not as hard as most think and in some ways is an advantage for shirt shifters

@owens10101 u can pull up to 3.5g in a shifter kart on sticks mate

my parents are deaf thats really cool vid

[jgmagoo1]

Nice smooth lines! You've obviously run that track a few times! Yes, you can definitely FEEL the torque peak on a shifter kart. It is probably a better indication of when to shift than listening to the sound of the engine....especially when you are wheel to wheel with a bunch of other karts!!

Good job!!

[bloodycoleful]

dude your relly cool do you shift when it starts vibrating

[TheBandilero]

anybody else turn the volume way up because you thoguht you were deaf

[josepanchosolis]

[fordlukebo]

@dominicerrigo really? thats good you didint go to a deaf school cuz its not good there. alot of deaf people that were mainstreamed sucess better that the one in the deaf school.
