i think its kinda bad that the 8 drives so much better after abusing it. i would abuse it all day long if i could, but cops and gas stand in my way. especially cops.

even my transmission shifts smoother after hard driving.



i need my own personal 4 mile long race track.

I hate waiting to get some miles on my engine replacement. I want to do some high-rev driving again.

A rev limiter sounds much better on a bike with a loud pipe on it, than the beep in the 8.
