Default Tackless Answer
I mean tachless - I can't really say how fast the Flatty is winding when I shift, as there is no RMP meter. Its not like my Harley - it shook so bad you knew that you HAD to shift!

I have had the best luck running the engine up as fast as I dare, then shifting as quick as I can remember how to double clutch. Unless the engine is cold, or I am pulling the 6 pounder of S&P museum, 2nd gear is good enough to start and for most parade work ( at idle it is walking speed ).

My U/C MkII* and T-16 both top out at 30-35 mph.
