Hey Marko

Thanks...
Spoke to the Regional Buell Service Manager while I picked it up. He had 2 pieces of advice for me -Keep it above 3000 RPM's -Ride it like ya stole it. About any other question was answered with "don't worry, the bike can take it" :nana2: |

Ya he was cool shit.
Told me he had to take it for a spin as a "quality control" check. He just loves the bike! That fucking front end is LIGHT though. Hit 6K and UP she comes. Instant MPG display... I've seen high side of 39, and low of 14. This could be interesting. |

um, cause it's 30 degrees, the roads are sandy and icy, and its about to start rain/snowing.
That and I have to work tomorrow. I had to laugh at the service manager. He "suggested" I bring it to them for all the major services. so 620 miles, and 1200 miles, and then every 3000 after that. It's 100 miles one way to the dealership. Figured if I did that, I'd be in twice a week for the first couple! |

Looks like it was bad and you told it to go to the corner.
