499 Miles...................

I just got home from work. As I pulled in the driveway, my odometer rolled over to 499............can I go beat the tihs out of it now? :confused:
During break-in, I never exceeded 3,000 RPM, or 50 MPH for the first 50 miles, or 55 MPH for the next 449 miles..............Do I REALLY have to wait for one more mile................

641 miles...........

I've pushed it hard after 500 miles during short lower gear bursts, but no extended blasts like a full 1/4 mile or a top-end charge yet. But soon.
