I agree, John. While I don't start out in 2nd gear, I don't stay in 1st gear for very long.
And I do
not shift down to 2nd gear when going around most corners. (Someone asked earlier if you should downshift before or after the turn.)
Unless traffic has slowed me down too much, I just chug around the corner and carry on after the turn in 3rd gear. These engines have great torque at low RPM, just don't lug it really hard. Gently chug ahead and gain speed back.
