"Golden Egg"

It's staring us all in the face...............wake up...........

Why do we need to start in second gear? Because first is way too low!

Was first gear intended for an entirly different rear ratio, that we don't get here in the USA.........They do refer to us as STOOPID AMERICANS!!!

Is this why the dots on the speedometer set for gear changes seem to be foolishly high, I mean, wouldn't your engine red line before it got to the first dot (approx 35 mph) probably!

What would be the right ratios if 2000 rpm is the proper shifting point for 35 mph in first gear, and dots for second, third and fourth, respectively?
