When the flag moves I pin the throttle, pause about a half a second, then let clutch out hard and fast to about half way. That will launch the bike hard enough make it lurch forward and lift the front wheel. From that point on all the work is done with the left hand. The throttle stays pinned all the way to turn one. Both up shifts are done wide open with an electric shifter. Like Paul does, I get my feet on the pegs ASAP.

thanks - easier said than done though! need to practice that
