As for me I'm off on an extended trip with she who must be obeyed. So rick prayers do get answered particularly when the whole congregation is involved. In the words of the irish bard (and one seriously fast motorcycle enthusiast) Joey Dunlop "while riding may no part of one's body grace the pavement except for the tips of one's toes, knees and elbows". Ride safe.

Did he call you a .... head?
it was just under 100 when it started to lift cuz i noticed the display go from double to triple digit, in my peripheral
as the bar went loose in my hand but i did not get a number at a glance(did not get a perfect look at it) in third, WOT,
i got spooked when i felt the bar go loose in my hand , it felt like it was quickly on its way up and was going to keep going
and i slowly rolled out of it. scared the hell out of me.(I LOVE THIS ADAMN THING)..never had a bike that could wheelie at that speed in third
i have not had the chance to really run it out in any gear except 1st and second,,,theres just nowhere to safely do that on the street
without getting popped for a felony anyway, and its not worth losing the low rates i get on insurance
all aids off except for the ones that cannot be completely turned off and i keep traction control at 3 to 4 to save a little tire.

Unfortunately he did. I haven't been the same since. He called me face of the dogs bollocks too...Sad...
I hate the off camber corner in Thill East. Corkscrew didnt bother me. Popping up on the sharp flat camber at Sonoma what is it #2 ?

A bit off topic, but did you notice any more heat or sound after removing the cylinder head covers?
Thinking about removing mine, but already close to the noise limit at my local track..
My 1299 comes up at 150 and you sure can feel the bars get light at 175 in 6th with DWC off. Eerie feeling at those speeds. That pull it has at 7000-9000 rpm is ridiculous. Definitely not something I'd be trying to do at those speeds. Totally can see the need for those little wings.

Looks good man….I’d get rid of the red bits though, unless you’re going for a Christmas theme?

Every time I see this thread header I think to myself that I don’t think there’s any speed this thing won’t wheelie at if you back off the throttle then twist it back on quickly.
I agree, it doesn't take much to get that floaty feeling a nearly any speed with the electronics on the lower settings
