You're shifting too early. Let the rpm's come down before you downshift.

You start out motorcycling with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

Some people are like slinkies; they're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Be sure to roll off the throttle smoothly before shifting too!
