Thank you Spud for all the hard work that you put into this picture thread. I am also grateful to the anonymous person who made that YouTube video. After 35 years plus on motorcycles, and working on them, I don't think I have had a better understanding of how a transmission works than I do now, thanks to you and are anonymous YouTube buddy.

The motorcycle transmission is a remarkably elegant, efficient, durable, complex, yet simple part of the machine that I really appreciate now that I learned more about it. It is amazing that it was never invented in the first place. I don't think that it's a whole lot less complicated than the internal combustion part of the motor, indeed it may be more complicated.

It is also easy to understand now why they make clunking sounds in between gears.
