I tend to ride at extremely low RPMs. If I need to get out of the way, I can usually gun the 5th gear and do it. If not, a quick downshift is okay, too.
I mean REALLY low, too. I'm tooling around at like 30 MPH in 5th gear, sometimes. Usually, though, if it goes below 35, I'm in 3rd, or 4th, depending on how the engine sounds.
