I'm still putting a few miles on the whole combination. Lots of things are different, plus it's been a year since I drove something this strong....gotta get me re-trained too!

Sitting around the house last night....nothing on TV...asked wife if she wanted to go cruising? We put the top down and went riding on the back roads for about an hour or so. It's still a good cruiser!!

Did a few 1st through 2nd gear runs to get the feel for how it reacts while tires are spinning. New rear setup is doing well and it won't be long 'till I get out and do a few banzai 130-140 mph passes to make sure all is well. Then it's track time! I guess I need to think about that roll bar some more.
