I should be up for one too. I'm starting to hear conflicting reports regarding break in, some people are telling me not to baby it as long as they recommend for fear of glazing the cylinder heads (i believe that's what it was) by not putting it through its full rev range. hmmm I'm at around 500km now so I'm a little unsure how fast I should go ;). Oh and you should just be able to keep up at highway speeds. I know my r6 in top gear runs pretty close to 100 at the recommended rpm. Mind you thats the speed limit... maybe not how fast we'll be going :D
It's funny, I started 'hearing' these reports as my break-in was going... basically I think I was just trying to justify the fact that I wanted to let her rip.

I'll tell ya though.. if you hold off just a little longer.. take it in for the first service.. and when you go pick it up.. hammer it down the East/West connector.. OH, the grin...

Mind you, I brought it above 5-6krpm's quite a few times.. but never for very long. I truely believe a lot in the fact that your rings need to set, and they don't do that if you just ride it like you stole it. But I'll coax you along just fine if we do end up going out on Sunday (damn sickness!!)

Ok, here's my suggestion. I'm not sure where you guys are planning on going or what have you. But I'm not going to leave quite that early. Do you guys want to meet for breakfast somewhere? Say Urban Fair, downtown in Gastown (we can maybe grab Rusty and Dan there), and head out somewhere?

Oh, and I have both a digital camera and a dv camera .. and a tank bag to hold 'em.

I say 11:00am at the Urban Fair.. it may be a little busy, but there's a cheap breakfast that's pretty good. We'll plan a route from there.

I'll confirm this in the morning as well around 10am.
