Crap.  If I didn't have errands and work, it'd be broken in today.

It's been raining nonstop all week and yesterday... we got a hiccup up here today, but I'm not expecting it to last the night.

Yeah, whevener you post pictures I go see which ones you didn't post. There are a lot of really good ones in there I think you should share. I realize there is a space consideration on here, though.

I started my Sunday with 300 break-in miles on the clock.   I ended my Sunday with 470....   Could there be a race brewing,  :guns:  Roadstergal?

Very nice pic, BTW.  Autumn leaves pick up the red really well.  :thumb:

I was sunny today...  I was stuck in practice for the best part of the day...  Then I tried to ride around right when the sun went down...  Started sprinkling...  My hands froze...  I wimped out and went home.   :(


Oh and:

The trip from Oakland, CA to Portland, OR is about 600 miles, so a bit futher than your 550.  And, man, it's boring on a bike.  My girlfriend and I split time on a 750 cc Honda (damn, model eludes me...  sort of built like a Nighthawk).  It was a seriously long and hot ride....  Definitely would not do it on I-5 again and not in a single day (I ended up riding almost 400 of it, and driving a car when not on the bike...)....

With your interest in race engines I am surprized you still subscribe to the factory recommended break-in...  I still have mixed feelings about it but I can't wait that long till the first recommended oil change, that just sounds crazy to me.
