S U C C E S S !!!
All the way from Kilmore to Craigieburn I tried to lift the front in second with no luck (just fork extension).
Exit the Hume at Craigieburn, taking off in first, close/open throttle at 70 kays and whoppo.... my first (real - postie bike doesn't count) minger.
And sooooo smooth, just thought it was another full fork extension until the front came down.... and also smoothly.
What an awesome feeling! And I know the two onlookers appreciated it also!
Thanks heaps guys for all your input. May this not be the last. See how we go tomorrow now, and then it'll just be keeping it up through the transition into second!
IT'S MINGER TIME !
