So I pegged the Speedo!

Post by KidDynomite »

Those few of you familiar with Kansas City will note I was going accross 9 hwy bridge (past the gawdawful stench of the sewers) when this happened.

I was crossing a bridge with a tail wind and had it wide open coming up the on ramp and was gaining on the cars way up in front of me like a mad man. I looked down and I was going like 76MPH, so I goosed it that last smidge I had left and sure as bleep, I PEGGED IT!

LOL, not sure how fast that meant I was actually going, but I know it had to be well over 70MPH. BTW, I usually use BP for gas because they have 92 Octane, but today I had to fill at Quick Trip and used their 91 Octane gas. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. BTW again, I just had an oil change yesterday.....again, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

BTW final time......I used an alternative breakin method with mine where I rode moderately, mixed with hard riding, and continually alternated about every 8 blocks or so for the first 50 miles. I've been flogging the piss out of Sonny ever since.

Just thought y'all might want to know.

I'm trying to hook up with the group that rides to Weston's O'Malley's Pub on Sundays. Maybe you know who they are.

If not, I'll certainly scoot out to Scooterworld and join you all on Sunday.

Where do you ride? ie. What's on the agenda?
