i almost fell off my bike. 
the story:
wednesday night, after another long and tiring day at work (project rollercoaster) i decided to finally try the other maps (thanks sifubs) for the tuneboy.
first i had to update the flash box, which didn't work the first 3 times, to being able to upload the 207 akrapovic 4.1 map .
i still have the very first cored exhaust on the bike (since over 7000 miles now), with the largest opening and the inner tubes all gutted. it's the zombie, which has probably more weld weight than sheet metal, but hey, it was all for research.
anywho, after i finally got it flashed, i wanted to ride it to work yesterday am, until i realized we had a meeting scheduled at the patent attorney's office with the engineering team, so i figured to leave the bike and jump into suit and tie.
thursday nights we always have $7 runs at the greer dragway, so i threw both bikes (the race SV and the ....igale) in the trailer and hauled over there, jumped in my leathers and did my first pass with the SV. 8.6s with 84 mph. well, alright. i start pretty well on that bike in the races, so why bother. so i went and grabbed the 1199.
after startup, i immediatly felt that the exhaust note was a bit rounder, smoother, but still loud as $hit and barky. i hung out in the start area, revving to get up to temperature, letting her bark and caught plenty of looks from the lowered stretched and airbrushed community
off to the line i went and decided to go slow, to see what the map changed.
down go the lights and i get off, front comes up (i'm under the helmet like whaaaaahhaaaa shiiiiiift!) so i shifted into 2nd , again front jumps in my face (same film happening behind the visor) and pop into third that mother effer comes back jumping in my face....
i bet it was a great show for all the spectators LOL but the run was effed up
next runs i ended up doing sub 7s with .04 reaction, 1.8s 60ft and 113 top speed. my wife took a phone vid of that, i'ma try to get it on here.
this mornig merging onto the interstate i saw a car approaching from behind on the middle lane, figured i'm gonna make it and cranked it all up. 2nd gear wheelie again from 5krpm .... fu&%&*g squids
bottom line - i love it
the end.
