Thanks Jim, that was fun! Sorry about the blinker, must have clipped it with my boot. I have some to give you that would look much cooler IMHO. I'll take a pic of them if you want.

I fixed the blinker at the end of the video. You should have seen them when I got the bike. :D It was both fun and painful to watch the video. I was rooting for you to pass everyone in front of you and have some fun, but you never really got to the powerband. Next year I expect you to show me how it's done. Or I'll bring it to VMP.

Jim doesn't know little bikes, you rev them until you think they are going to blow, then rev some more, and rev some more, and then shift........ :o :thumbup: :lol:

Yeah I really like the perspective from the chest mount camera on that bike, but it was a slow boat to China ride. The car up ahead contained Dave's family so it would have been a d!ck move to pass them.

So basically there's an inherent rev limiter :lol: Obviously I need more seat time! :wave:

The engine is stock, and it really does effectively have a rev limiter just past the power peak to tell you when to shift. Understood about passing, it's just a viewer's point of view thing. I wish I had a road half as twisty as that one around here.
