Default Let the fun begin!

I have really been trying to be a good boy. The break-in thing, you know, don't do this, don't do that, 4500 RPM temporary redline. Took a nice easy cruise yesterday and the temporary tachometer band disappeared as the odometer eclipsed the 500 mile mark. I had it in mind to capture the moment on video as some have posted here. But wouldn't you know I'd be in traffic near a busy intersection at the time. Oh well.

Anyway, Yippie! I think it's time to drop the hammer and see what this baby can really do!

I can't wait to get past the 500 break-in as well. 200 more miles to go.
