I only tried that technique 4 or 5 times, with mixed result. So I will keep trying to feel if I can feel the shift to overdrive while still in the docks. But I don't know where you get your bikes, my chance of getting one w/o overdrive is 50% or more. That's compared to 0% in the few times I tried them in JC.
